Volunteer
Hobart and William Smith alumni, alumnae, parents and friends
contribute in many wonderful ways to the Colleges. They play
active roles in career development, admissions, communications,
programming, Reunion and the Colleges’ fundraising.
There are so many things the Colleges can do when you generously give of your time and of yourself.

| Reunion
Volunteers
Reunion is a time for reliving
some of the best moments in our lives and re-igniting
the HWS spirit. Reunion volunteers find their involvement with the planning and implementation
of Reunion incredibly rewarding, and of course they
love coming back to campus to attend. Reunion could
not happen without the dedicated class volunteers. |
Keeping
the HWS Connection Alive
Alumni and alumnae serve the important role ofs class
correspondents and regional club volunteers to ensure
that the important friendships and memories made at
Hobart and William Smith Colleges remain alive. |
Alumni
and Alumnae Councils
By representing the Colleges’ 18,000 alumni and alumnae
to the Colleges’ administration, the Councils
keep the voice of alumni and alumnae alive and involved in the
future of HWS. Serving on special committees allows
alumni and alumnae to use their special skills to advance the
Colleges.

Parents
Association
Hobart and William Smith parents develop close and lasting
relationships with faculty members, administrators,
fellow parents, and friends of their sons and daughters.
In a very real sense, they are the Colleges' extended family.
The Parents Association serves as a way for parents to become involved in the life of the Colleges. |
Admissions
Volunteers
Alumni, alumnae and parents provide a valuable resource
for prospective students and their parents. Volunteers host
or attend admissions receptions or information sessions
held in various locations near them throughout the year.
They may also interview prospective students or participate
in phone-a-thons to parents of prospective students. |
Career
Services Volunteers
Parents, alumni, alumnae and others participate in
panels and events sponsored by the
Office of Career Services. They may share their experiences in the “real world” and career
options. Volunteers take calls and e-mails from students
asking about careers, geographic settings, graduate
programs and more. Probably their most important contribution is to help place students
in internships. |
