Volunteer for Wesleyan
Each year approximately 1,300 alumni and parents volunteer their time to support Wesleyan.
Personal contact from volunteers helps strengthen the bond alumni and parents have with each other, the University, and the extended Wesleyan community. Such individualized, person-to-person connections are the foundation of the Wesleyan Fund. Volunteers serve as ambassadors for Wesleyan. Whether you’re a long-term volunteer or new to the team, please know we are grateful you have made Wesleyan a priority. Thank you for your dedication to–and for your own generous support of–Wesleyan.
Become a Class Agent/Associate Agent (.pdf)
Class Agents act as liaisons between classmates and Wesleyan to review and edit class correspondence, and encourage classmates to make gifts to Wesleyan through the Wesleyan Fund. They also lead a cadre of Associate Class Agents in these efforts. Class Agents play an important role in the overall success of the Wesleyan Fund. By writing letters, sending e-mails, and making phone calls, Class Agents can help generate record breaking class gifts and give everyone the chance to reconnect with Wesleyan.
Volunteer for your Reunion Committee
Reunion volunteers work with the Wesleyan Fund staff to guide the planning and implementation of the reunion celebration held each May. Reunion committee members encourage classmates to return for reunion, ask for financial support, and share the latest Reunion news via print and electronic communications. It is a great opportunity to reconnect with classmates before Reunion, and to help Wesleyan at the same time. Click here to review the Reunion Handbook (.pdf).
Wesleyan Fund National Committee
The Wesleyan Fund is led by Chair, Richard Swanson ’77. Together, Richard, the Executive Committee and the Wesleyan Fund staff, collaborate and strategize long and short-term goals for the Fund.
Class Secretaries
Class Secretaries serve as a link between their classmates and with the university, specifically in preparing the communication alumni would like to share in the Wesleyan magazine in the quarterly class notes.
Parents Fund
Parent volunteers work closely with members of the University Relations staff to solicit selected parents via mailings and phone calls, personally asking them to contribute to the Wesleyan Fund.
