What is the Thiel Family Council?

The Thiel Family Council is a group of parents and family members who offer their insight and experience to the College; serving as a mechanism to positively influence the students’ living and learning environment through their interaction with the administration. Membership offers families a special connection with one another as well as many opportunities to participate in the Thiel community.
