91ÇÑ×Ó

91ÇÑ×Ó Admission Volunteers

Connect with outstanding prospective 91ÇÑ×Ó students and their parents online, over the phone or in person to share the benefits of an 91ÇÑ×Ó education.

After receiving training and resources about current campus life, 91ÇÑ×Ó 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 91ÇÑ×Ó, 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 91ÇÑ×Ó 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.

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