Serving as ambassadors for visiting prospective students.  The Art Department is looking for student volunteers to serve as ambassadors to visiting high school students. This involves meeting with visiting prospective students and their families, giving tours of the department, and helping at University recruitment events. Volunteers give us a schedule of times that work best for them and the time commitment is minimal, but it is very important work. If you are interested in helping, please email Dr. Emily Kelley edkelley@svsu.edu Student Advisement 

Serving as mentors to incoming freshman or transfer students for next year.

In both cases, the time commitment is typically less than an hour per week (with a little more on weeks with events and much less many other weeks).  This type of service work is a good resume builder.

Interested volunteers or those who want more info should email Dr. Emily Kelley: edkelly@svsu.edu
