Volunteer Management Committee
Your organizational skills and managerial acumen could make you a valued contributor to any of the three teams that make up the Volunteer Management Committee. This group of teams handles all administrative matters of the Alumni Association such as awards selection, constitution and bylaw review, and nominations process.
Advancement Committee
This Committee functions as a forum for sharing ideas and developing plans to engage, educate, and solicit fellow alumni. Additionally, this group focuses on helping to reach the Annual Giving Campaign goals.
Alumni Outreach Committee
If you have a knack for event planning and are looking for a committee with a strong social aspect, the Alumni Outreach Committee may be right for you. This group helps coordinate social events such as Homecoming, and the Annual Alumni Golf Tournament. The team also oversees the annual Skookum Awards, and the Student and Alumni Team.
Other Volunteer Opportunities Include:
Alumni-in-Admissions
This program offers you the opportunity to represent the University as a spokesperson. Since 1987, many alumni have represented the University in or near their hometowns and provided personalized information about the "Western New England University Experience" to prospective students and their families. Alumni are trained in the recruitment process and given all necessary materials for recruiting students.
Event Volunteers
A number of opportunities exist in the greater Springfield area that need alumni volunteers. These events include, but are not limited to such things as: Commencement ushers, spotters for the Annual Alumni Golf Tournament, and general assistants throughout Homecoming weekend.
