Other volunteering opportunities

Alumni representatives with relevant experience sit on a number of College’s Committees. There are also other opportunities to volunteer with the College. We particularly welcome alumni volunteers who wish to speak to students about their careers, and those who may wish to help in the Archive and Lawrence Room.
