Volunteer Roles
There are various opportunities to share your knowledge and experience as a Guest Speaker at a University event. You can nominate yourself to join your Faculty as a guest-lecturer, share your professional insights at a discussion panel, or headline a signature Dalhousie event! Would you rather hold a pen than a mic? Guest Speakers can also lend their voice to a written piece if a public event is not a good fit. A member of the Alumni Team will explore potential opportunities with you to determine:
- Which style of speaking opportunity is right for you
- Areas of the University wherein your knowledge may be most applicable
- Which medium best suits your topic, style, and area of interest
Many of our alumni volunteers enjoy the flexibility and individualized opportunities available as a Helping Hand. By connecting with our Alumni Team, you can participate in one-time or casual initiatives that you are most interested in, at times and locations that work for you!
- Support events in your area with set-up or registration
- Connect with your Faculty for unique engagement opportunities or initiatives
- Lend your voice to special topic-based focus groups and discovery sessions
- Support your Regional Community with volunteer activities in your city
Have you lost touch with your former classmates? Do you have life-long friends looking to come back to campus? Alumni reunions come in all shapes and sizes, from Faculties, class years, sports teams, and student society members. If you have a group of fellow Dalhousie alumni that you want to see reunite on campus, let us help you make it happen!
