Get Involved

Your alma mater misses you!

 

Volunteer!

One of the greatest gifts you can give to your university is the gift of your time! Dominican University welcomes and depends upon the contributions of service from alumnae/i. From trustees in the board room to guest speakers in the class room, alumnae/i volunteers are involved at all levels. Alumnae/i advise the university, recruit students, solicit funds, serve as class agents, host gatherings, plan reunions, host internships, participate as panelists, assist fellow alumnae/i in need and mentor students.  Stay up-to-date with campus activities and meet new and prospective students. Your involvement will inspire them!

 

Become a Class Agent!

Class agents act as the link between the university and a given graduating class. They represent their classes at annual class agent meetings, prepare class news for the magazine, and help to coordinate their reunions. It’s a wonderful way to help your class stay connected to DU and to one another!

To get involved, contact the Office of Alumnae/i Relations at (708) 524-6286 or alumni@dom.edu.
