Volunteer

The Fitchburg State University Alumni Office works closely with the Alumni Association Board of Directors to integrate graduates within each aspect of the University community. While the Alumni Board and staff work to better the Fitchburg State experience and create a culture of Falcon Pride, they can't do it alone, we need your help!
Volunteers in leadership positions play a very special role in the advancement of Fitchburg State. They are the leaders whose time and talents inspire others' participation and financial support of the University.
Our volunteers give their time because they feel that the University is an important resource for the community and a vital part of the lives of our students. They feel the responsibility to "give something back" to the University after the experiences they enjoyed and benefited from while here, and their value to Fitchburg State is immeasurable.
Each volunteer offers their own unique talents and expertise for the benefit of the University and their fellow alumni. The Alumni and Development Office supports, guides, and assists volunteers to ensure that the experience is enjoyable, rewarding, and in direct support of the mission of Fitchburg State University. But our volunteers are leaders in their own right. Board members and committee chairs in particular assume roles with a high degree of authority, autonomy, and accountability.

Join the Board!

The Fitchburg State University Alumni Association Board of Directors is always seeking active and involved graduates of Fitchburg State University to serve the Association and its committees. These committed individuals should display qualities of leadership, integrity, and spirited volunteerism. All interested parties should contact the alumni office before March 1st. Please submit your cover letter and resume to alumni@fitchburgstate.edu

Alumni Association Board Committees

We are always looking for alumni to join committees that advance the specific goals of the Alumni Association. You do not need to be a Board member to serve on a committee, and many volunteers choose to test the waters on a committee before applying to serve on the Board of Directors. It is a great way to meet the people who are the driving force of the Alumni Association and to make a difference in your own particular field of interest at Fitchburg State.
