Get Involved with the School of Communication Studies
While you may have graduated and moved on, we still want to stay in touch with you and connect you with the next generation of Communication Studies students. Please fill out the form below if you’re interested in any of the many ways you can show your Volunteer spirit by engaging with the school and our students.
Host
Alumni can host a student visit to their business or organization, or even assist in coordinating a student trip to their city or region. These trips expose students to the work professionals and alumni, such as you, are doing out in the real world!
Network
We’re always looking for ways to introduce students to alumni, or for alumni to network with each other. We organize various social and career development events where alumni can meet with students. Alumni can also volunteer to be professional mentors.
Give
While alumni can always donate to our enrichment fund, there are many other ways you can provide financial support for students and faculty. These include establishing endowments and scholarships or funding student trips or equipment purchases.
It’s so important as an alumni to not only give back monetarily but also of your time, experience and advice. In a world where things are ever changing, having alumni involved with students prior to graduations so important for the reality of what their next chapter might look like for them.”
