Volunteer Opportunities

Your personal connection to Hood College as an alumna/us provides unique tools for showcasing the exciting opportunities the College offers future students. The Office of Alumni Relations and the Office of Admission have partnered and are pleased to offer a number of ways to continue strengthening the enrollment of future Hood College classes. If you are interested in representing the College in any or all of the ways detailed below, please let us know by completing the form found here, or by contacting Biz Gorman Gomer ’02, MA’08, senior associate director of admission at gomer@hood.edu or 301-696-3406.

Alumni admission volunteers help identify and recruit qualified prospective students for Hood College in the following ways: 

• Representing Hood at college fair programs;
• Sharing Hood admission materials at area high schools or home school programs
• Joining the Office of Admission on- and off-campus for admission programs for prospective students; and
• Assisting the admission team in direct contact initiatives such as emails, phone calls, text messages and social media outreach with admitted students as they make their final college decisions!

And remember that you can refer someone you think would make a great addition to the Hood College student community at any time by completing the referral form found here. 

We look forward to helping you share your Hood College story with the next generation of Hood College alumni!

Class Chairs for Reunion

Hoping for a good turnout for your class reunion? You can help make that happen by serving as a Class Reunion Chair. The office of alumni and constituent engagement does most of the on-campus planning, and you are welcome to make your own class-specific plans if you would like. Most of all, your voice is needed to encourage your fellow Hood graduates to come out, participate, and join the fun! Don't assume someone else will do it. If you think you might be interested but want to know more, we're happy to talk about the Hood community's most fabulous event of the year and how you can be a part of it. alumoffice@hood.edu

Class Reporters

Interested in volunteering your time to be a class reporter? Some have been at this task for a number of years; others are new to the job. Some stay connected with classmates via mail, phone or email, while others enjoy personal visits and get-togethers. In whatever form you choose to keep in touch with your classmates, we would like to thank you! The columns will appear in the biannual Hood College Magazine. You play a major role in keeping your classmates connected to each other and to Hood, and are invaluable to the success of Hood Magazine. Contact the office of alumni relations and special events at 301-696-3713 or by email at alumoffice@hood.edu if your class needs a reporter.
