From students to faculty and staff, everyone can be involved in Open House. The committee needs energetic student leaders, faculty and staff to volunteer, whether at registration, greeting guests or leading groups of visiting students around the campus. Volunteering is a great way to show off our campus, programs and services and to allow students to experience all that makes AV俱乐部 great.
鈥淒iscover the Unexpected is going is be a great day, one that happens because of the hard work from members right across the campus community,鈥� says Dr. Maloney. 鈥淐o-chair Krista Olmstead and I are continually amazed at the generosity of all the volunteers whowork tirelessly to ensure Open House is a successful event.鈥�
