Interested in Volunteering during Grad Fest?
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, directing students during Grad Fest, welcoming families into the Smith Alumni Center, and more.
Stay tuned for volunteer opportunities available during our next Commencement season.
