  • Event Volunteer: help out at an event in your area, help us find venues, or make calls reminding alumni to come.
  • Friendship Family: invite an international student to join your family for a couple of get-togethers and introduce them to the U.S. culture.
  • Annual Fund Volunteer: help the advancement office raise awareness about the importance of this fund and the culture of philanthropy at L&C.

Call for Volunteers!

The Office of Admissions is looking for alumni in several areas throughout the country to serve as Admissions Alumni Volunteers (AAV). AAVs are regional alumni coordinators. They serve as a contact person for prospective students and help with the College's admissions efforts across the country. AAVs are provided training at a biannual ACE Conference and receive regular communication and updates from the Admissions Office.

How much of a time commitment does it take to be an AAV? What an admissions alumni volunteer does really depends on how much time you have available, the specific needs of your area, and how many other alums are available to help. During some months ACE activities may take 2-5 hours and during other months the time commitment will be very limited. See the AAV Activities and Expectations for more details. We are currently looking for admissions alumni volunteers in:

* Alaska
* Arizona
* California
* Georgia
* Illinois
* Massachusetts
* Missouri
* Montana
* Nevada
* New Mexico
* New York
* Ohio
* Texas
* Utah
* Vermont
* Washington State
* Washington D.C.
