Be a Part of Your Community Engagement Leadership Team!
Santa Clara University is proud to spread the Bronco spirit across the globe through our regional, affinity, identity-based, and professional industry communities. All are led by active volunteers, ready and willing to plan and promote events meaningful to their unique community.
Regardless of the size of your regional community, having strong and well-defined leadership is a key component to its success. The size of your community leadership team will depend on your community’s size and activity level. Most larger communities (1000+ alumni) are led by a committee with a president and several other volunteers. Smaller communities may be led by one or two regional representatives.
- Plan and execute a consistent calendar of events; the number can be decided based on the size and interests of your community.
- Depending on the size of your community, recruit a committee of alumni volunteers to assist with planning events. We encourage you to have a committee that is representative across schools and decades.
- Communicate regularly with your local volunteers, planning committee, or co-chair. This may include in-person meetings or conference calls. It is up to you to determine the best method of communication for your unique group.
- Serve as a local resource for current or incoming students as well as alumni that are new to the area or prospective students.
