Interested in Volunteering during Senior Send-Off?

They say it takes a village to raise a Ram. Incredible volunteer opportunities are available for alumni, parents, and Rams fans looking to help us launch the next class of Ram Grads into the world. Be a part of things like adding information to regalia packages, wayfinding for students and families during the events, welcoming families into the Smith Alumni Center, and more.

Please email AnnaMarie Reiner for more volunteer information!
