Reunion Student Reps Needed!

Apply today to be a Reunion Student Rep!

Reunion Student Representatives play a unique role in creating a welcoming, fun, and connective experience for alumni as they return to campus to celebrate the anniversary of their graduation. 

In partnership with the office of University Advancement, student reps will transport guests around campus on golf carts, provide set-up and technical support for reunion events/activities, and have opportunities to network with alumni. 

This is a short-term on-campus summer employment opportunity from Tuesday, June 11-Sunday, June 16. This is an excellent resume builder that compensates at the highest student wage tier, offers extensive networking opportunities, includes some meals, and LU swag. 

Reps are expected to work 40 hours the week of Reunion, with morning, afternoon, and evening shifts available.
