April is National Volunteer Month and the University of Northern Colorado is grateful to the many alumni who volunteered during the 2022-2023 academic year. From committee service, class speakers, to career advisors and employer recruiters, 麻豆传媒 alumni are actively involved in supporting 麻豆传媒鈥檚 students every day.

Thank you for your involvement and service this academic year.

Where Volunteers Live

While many 麻豆传媒 alumni volunteers live in Colorado, you鈥檒l actually find volunteers across the Bear Network. With virtual volunteer opportunities and in-classroom experiences for alumni educators, alumni are making a difference in communities and cities around the country and even internationally.

Admissions

Bear to Bear, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 alumni admissions outreach program entered it鈥檚 second year with volunteers from across the U.S. signing up to write personal cards to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 admitted undergraduate students. Bear-to-Bear is a great initial volunteer opportunity. If you are interested in helping connect with admitted students, plan to sign up next fall.

Career Readiness

For nearly ten years, 麻豆传媒鈥檚 Bear Network has focused on recruiting and engaging alumni in support of career readiness. From virtual career panels to representing companies during on campus employment fairs, 麻豆传媒 alumni are helping students put the Bear Network to work.

"Alumni not only serve as the connection between current students and the world of work, but are key players in the personal and professional growth of our current and graduating students. The impact they have as mentors and leaders through things such as panels, mock interviews and job connections cannot be overstated." - Tim Nellett, Director of Career Readiness and Experiential Learning

Classroom Service

With K-12 education being the top industry of employment among 麻豆传媒 alumni, you'll easily find a 麻豆传媒 graduate in classrooms and district offices across the U.S. Thank you to the alumni educators who proudly share their 麻豆传媒 connections as part of our alumni educator program. Alumni educators help promote 麻豆传媒 in between admissions visits, bring students to campus for tours, and represent their district during 麻豆传媒's K-12 educator fair.

Additionally, you will find 麻豆传媒 alumni in the front of classrooms on campus. Alumni volunteers regularly return to campus as guest speakers enriching 麻豆传媒's curricular experience.

Events

With 麻豆传媒 events on and off-campus, alumni volunteers are critical support to providing a welcoming experience for all guests. From football tailgates to , alumni event volunteers help bring the Bear Network together.

Scholarships

Committee members serve a two-month term each spring and help to ensure that nearly $90,000 in foundation scholarships are awarded to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 incoming and current students. Awards range from the 麻豆传媒 Alumni License Plate Scholarship to the Gander Scholarship for Bears First students, as well as many scholarships supporting 麻豆传媒's diversity, equity and inclusion goals. Committee service is a great way for alumni to get involved, support student success, and learn more about the impact of donor philanthropy.

University Leadership

A special thank you to the 麻豆传媒 Alumni Board for their service throughout the year. Alumni Board members serve two year, renewable terms and provide advice and insight from among 麻豆传媒鈥檚 various alumni communities and perspectives.

In addition to the advisory alumni board, alumni volunteers provide critical governance and financial leadership for the University. Thank you to the 麻豆传媒 alumni serving on the 麻豆传媒 Foundation board and on governor-appointed Board of Trustees.

"Thank you to the alumni who generously provide their time and expertise to 麻豆传媒. Our alumni volunteers remain committed to supporting 麻豆传媒 and ensuring that we maintain a high-quality education focused on the unique success of every student." - Lyndsey Crum '05, Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations
