Husky Happy Hour Volunteer Leader

Job Description

Volunteer leaders play an important role in encouraging alumni relationships and enhancing and promoting UWAA initiatives in their communities. The goal of alumni events is to help create relationships with alumni so they will participate, volunteer, advocate, donate or connect with the University of Washington. One way to contrubite back to the University is coordinating a exciting alumni event experience called Husky Happy Hour. A Husky Happy Hour (HHH) is particularly popular among young alumni and recent graduates, and people who have recently moved to the area. Happy Hours can be useful tools to encourage job networking for alumni of all ages.

Volunteers will secure a date within the March-May time period. Volunteer leaders must find a bar/lounge and secure drink and food specials for guest and turn in information by deadline. Volunteer will also collect information of who attended HHH and send to UWAA.
