Volunteer Opportunities
with Homecoming and Reunions
Homecoming
& Reunion
Be a Homecoming event or class
reunion chair. Each fall there are fifty opportunities
to be the point person for one of the many events and
parties at Homecoming. The focus for alumni volunteers
is public relations: your connections help get the word
to fellow alumni that Rice Homecoming & Reunion
is the "place to be." The logistics are handled
largely by alumni staff, which helps to keep your time
commitment manageable. For information contact Jennifer
Harding, 713-348-6094.
