Volunteer Information

"Without  question my experience at Roosevelt University was one that holds a very special place in my heart.... I eagerly look ahead with the hopes of giving back to the Roosevelt family by participation, leadership, and monetarily."    - Jason Rivas (MBA, '05) Los Angeles-Area Alumni Ambassador

Roosevelt University is very grateful to its many committed alumni volunteers who, like Jason, that have chosen to give back to their alma mater by getting involved and helping out.  Following are some of the many ways we encourage and welcome alumni volunteer involvement:

Serving as a Regional Alumni Ambassador

Roosevelt University alumni are truly everywhere! However, with limited time and resources, the Alumni Association and University officials are not always able to travel out to your area as frequently as we would like. That's why we need your help as alumni ambassadors in your local areas to keep the connections growing. If you are interested in serving as a resource to us "on the ground" in your area, and helping plan and host alumni gatherings, click below for more information.

Mentoring current RU students:

Professional Connections Initiative

The Office of Career Services and the RU Alumni Association are calling all alumni to join the Professional Connections Initiative (PCI), a growing online mentorship database through eRecruiting that benefits students and alumni job seekers as well as alumni employers looking to access an excellent pool of RU candidates for jobs and internships. 

Give back to your alma mater and ensure the future success of current RU students by serving as an alumni mentor. For more information about mentorship opportunities, or for general information about career services and resources available to alumni, visit www.roosevelt.edu/ocs

Serving on the Alumni Council

The Alumni Council is the leadership body of the Alumni Association and is made up of alumni of all ages and backgrounds. At the moment, the Alumni Council is in the process of reorganizing and will begin recruiting new members in the winter. If you would like to be considered once we commence recruitment again,

Sharing ideas, resources and connections

We always love to hear from our alumni and appreciate your feedback on events that you have attended or your suggestions for ways to better connect our alumni.  Also, we are always looking for opportunities to highlight our many incredible alumni and tap into the connections and resources that you may be able to share to elevate our programming and events. If you have connections or talents you would like to lend to your alma mater, please contact us and let us know!

We may not always be able to implement your suggestions right away, but we will take all new ideas into consideration in our efforts to provide the best alumni programming possible.
