Class ambassadors

Class Ambassadors are volunteers who help promote events at ¾«¶«´«Ã½ by reconnecting with other alumni within their graduating year. This type of peer-to-peer outreach is more successful in reconnecting with alumni who may have lost touch with the Hilltop. As a Class Ambassador, you will be a liaison for ¾«¶«´«Ã½ and get exclusive content and information to share.

Regional network leader

Connect alumni, parents and friends to each other and ¾«¶«´«Ã½ in regions around the world. Volunteers partner with ¾«¶«´«Ã½ staff to help plan events in their area that help alumni stay connected. Other responsibilities may include representing ¾«¶«´«Ã½ at area receptions for admitted students and college fairs.

Attend regular virtual planning meetings with ¾«¶«´«Ã½ to get started. Time commitment: an average of one to three hours per month.

¾«¶«´«Ã½ admission volunteers

Connect with outstanding prospective ¾«¶«´«Ã½ students and their parents online, over the phone or in person to share the benefits of an ¾«¶«´«Ã½ education.

After receiving training and resources about current campus life, ¾«¶«´«Ã½ will match you with admitted students based on common interests. Once matched, volunteers contact these students or their parents to congratulate them on their acceptance to ¾«¶«´«Ã½, share their personal experiences and answer questions. At times, volunteers attend special receptions and events for admitted students in their area.

Time commitment: one to three hours between January and May.

Career mentoring

Share your professional career insights and experiences to help prepare students for a career after the Hilltop.

Volunteers provide resume feedback for current ¾«¶«´«Ã½ students and help them sharpen their interview skills. Some volunteers provide one-day job shadowing opportunities, attend networking events or career fairs and participate on alumni panels.

Time commitment: varies by activity; one to two hours each.

Hilltop volunteers

Serve the Dallas/Fort Worth community alongside fellow Mustangs.

Time commitment: a minimum of one activity per year is required; one to three hours per activity.
