- Attend quarterly meetings, where you’ll hear from administrators, staff and faculty about what’s happening on campus.
- VIP invitations to special campus events.
- Volunteer opportunities at campus activities, such as orientation and commencement.
- The opportunity to earn points, which you can use to get special seating at campus events.
