Ways to volunteer and be part of the JCU Community
Alumni can play many important roles in the life of the University. These are just some of the ways that you can become involved.
Alumni Receptions
The University is looking for dedicated alumni who are willing to host small networking receptions across the globe, in an effort to strengthen the bonds among our geographically disperse alumni network. If you are interested in hosting a reception in your area, the University will identify how many alumni are in your region and assist you with event details, such as sending out invitations to your event.
Recruiting
Every year, John Cabot University reaches out to the next generation of prospective JCU students by participating in college fairs across the United States and internationally. As an alumnus who can speak first-hand about the unique experience of attending John Cabot, you can make the difference in encouraging new students to consider your alma mater. The University will inform you if a college fair is being held in your area and the responsibilities of hosting John Cabot’s booth at the event.
Career Services
Help bring other John Cabot University students and graduates into your company by sharing job announcements with the University. The Office of Career Services can advertise college-level internships and entry-level jobs vacancies on campus, and can broadcast vacancies for skilled professionals to the alumni network.
Lecturing
Throughout the year, professors look to enhance their courses by hosting guest speakers who can share their experiences. Your work, volunteer, or graduate school experience could be a perfect match for subjects being covered in today’s classrooms. Guest lectures take place on campus during a course’s regular meeting time, and speaking arrangements are coordinated with individual professors.
Mentoring
This program pairs JCU Alumni with current students interested in pursuing similar careers. As a mentor, you can connect with your matched student for as little as one meeting or can build a relationship over the course of his or her time at JCU. Alumni living outside of Rome can participate in this program as “distance mentors,” connecting with students online and by phone.
Fundraising
John Cabot established a fundraising department in 2008 with the goal of increasing private support for the University. Alumni volunteers are needed to help identify prospects, make connections to potential corporate and foundation donors, and solicit their peers for contributions to the annual fund, Tiber Campus construction, and student scholarships.
