Volunteer Opportunities
Are you interested in getting involved with other Oles who assist the college as volunteers? St. Olaf College provides you many opportunities to get involved and serve others.
Reunion Planning Committees
Each year about 100 volunteers help plan and promote
their class reunions. They plan and arrange their class reunion
luncheon program, write promotion pieces encouraging classmates
to attend, and make arrangements for any off-campus gatherings.
For more information or to serve on your reunion committee, e-mail
to alum-office@stolaf.edu.
Reunion Gift Volunteers
To coordinate reunion gift efforts, a committee of several
classmates is established for each class planning a reunion gift.
These volunteers encourage their classmates to participate in the
reunion gift campaign, and they present their gift to the college
during their reunion celebration. For more information, e-mail partner@stolaf.edu.
Club Volunteers
Working with the Alumni and Parent Relations staff, club
volunteers plan events and activities in their hometown or region.
Events include speakers from the college, concerts (frequently by
St. Olaf music ensembles), faculty seminars, family events, service
projects, and almost anything else the local volunteers wish to
plan. Club volunteers work throughout the country in most major
metropolitan areas. For more information or to volunteer to help
out in your area, e-mail alum-office@stolaf.edu.
Class Fund Agents
Since 1995, volunteers have been working to increase annual
gifts to the college by personally contacting their classmates.
Working with the annual giving staff, class fund agents send fundraising
appeals to members of their class, write thank-you notes for gifts
to the college, and encourage increased alumni participation in
Partners in Annual Giving. Just over
200 Oles are serving their classes as CFAs. For more information
or to volunteer e-mail partner@stolaf.edu.
Class Correspondents
Class correspondents serve their classmates and the college
by writing a class newsletter each year. Class correspondents put
their personal touch to news of classmates through the various
stages of life. For more information e-mail alum-office@stolaf.edu.
Alumni Admissions Volunteer
As the St. Olaf Admissions Office continues to focus on
national target areas (CA, CO, IL, TX, WA/OR, and the DC area) they
ask for your help in reaching out to prospective students and families
during the admissions process. As an Alumni Admissions volunteer,
activities might include attending college fairs, reaching out to
high schools in your area, hosting a reception, or simply having
a phone or email conversation with prospective students. For more
information on volunteer opportunities in the Admissions Office,
email Jenny Howenstine at howensti@stolaf.edu
