Volunteers
Share the joy of our graduates. Help make it a day to remember.
Why Volunteer?
Commencement is one of the happiest days of the year on our campus and is at the core of what we do as a university community. Volunteers play a crucial role in the overall success of Commencement exercises.
Current and retired staff, faculty (not participating in the procession or stage party), and alumni have the opportunity to lend their skills and talents to achieve a smooth and spectacular event while delivering the best possible guest experience.
There are many benefits to volunteering on our students' special day:
- meeting new people, seeing old friends, and networking with others
- building relationships across the university community
- sharing your TU pride with guests, degree candidates and families
- having the opportunity to publicly demonstrate your commitment to the university's missions and values
- joining other volunteers and Commencement staff at a special volunteer appreciation celebration
