Alumni volunteer opportunities at Reed
Are you interested in volunteering for Reed? The offices of admission, alumni relations, career services, and development are always interested in alumni, parents, and friends who are willing to give some of their time. Please visit the web site, send email or call one of the departments listed below for more information.
The admission office loves to have alumni volunteers to interview prospective Reedies and represent Reed at select college fairs. Coordinator: Avigail Hurvitz-Prinz '05, alumni coordinator and assistant dean of admission, 800/547-4750.
The annual fund currently needs volunteers to act as class gift chairs. In this capacity, volunteers encourage classmates to donate to Reed's annual fund through solicitation letters. Coordinator: David Rubin, director of the annual fund, 503/788-6644.
Alumni volunteers help acquaint current students and recent graduates with various career and employment options. In some cities, alumni act as hosts for career preview visits from students. Coordinator: Ron Albertson, director of career services, 503/517-7421.
Students for Education, Empowerment, and Direct Service (SEEDS) is Reed's community service program. SEEDS coordinates one-time and ongoing volunteer opportunities for hundreds of members of the Reed community each year, provides education about community and volunteerism, and maintains contact with hundreds of civic and social service organizations in Portland and beyond. Although most of our volunteers work in service to people outside the Reed community (alumni are always welcome to use our referral information), we also are happy to have alumni leading group volunteer events, teaching workshops, advising students on service-learning projects, and hosting student volunteers at work. Coordinator: Fawn Livingstone-Gray '93, 503/777-7563.
