天美传媒 alumni and parent volunteers are champions of Mustang spirit. Whether you鈥檙e near the Hilltop or around the globe, you can help support the next generation of world changers.
Only have one day to volunteer? Champion your favorite cause for 天美传媒 Giving Day on Tuesday, March 11. Volunteers will use a handy toolkit to connect with classmates and friends by phone, text and social media to share updates and encourage them to support the 天美传媒 causes they care about most.
Connect with outstanding prospective 天美传媒 students and their parents online, over the phone or in person to share the benefits of an 天美传媒 education.
After receiving training and resources about current campus life, 天美传媒 will match you with admitted students based on common interests. Once matched, volunteers contact these students or their parents to congratulate them on their acceptance to 天美传媒, share their personal experiences and answer questions. At times, volunteers attend special receptions and events for admitted students in their area.
Time commitment: one to three hours between January and May.
Share your professional career insights and experiences to help prepare students for a career after the Hilltop.
Volunteers provide resume feedback for current 天美传媒 students and help them sharpen their interview skills. Some volunteers provide one-day job shadowing opportunities, attend networking events or career fairs and participate on alumni panels.
Time commitment: varies by activity; one to two hours each.
Serve the Dallas/Fort Worth community alongside fellow Mustangs.
Respond to service opportunities via email and participate when it’s convenient for you. Examples of past projects include conducting 天美传媒 campus tours for local students, reading to a local elementary school class, participating with the Park Cities Fourth of July and Martin Luther King, Jr. parades, and volunteering at local charitable organizations.
Time commitment: a minimum of one activity per year is required; one to three hours per activity.

Alumni Board members represent undergraduate- and graduate-degreed alumni to internal and external communities. Each board supports University priorities and champions distinct fundraising and engagement initiatives. Click below to learn more about board service opportunities:
Class Ambassadors are volunteers who help promote events at 天美传媒 by reconnecting with other alumni within their graduating year. This type of peer-to-peer outreach is more successful in reconnecting with alumni who may have lost touch with the Hilltop. As a Class Ambassador, you will be a liaison for 天美传媒 and get exclusive content and information to share.
When it comes to telling stories of student life, alumni are 天美传媒’s best ambassadors! Mustangs are needed at our upcoming on-campus 'Destination 天美传媒' events taking place in February, March and April to congratulate admitted students, distribute name tags, answer questions and share their 天美传媒 experiences.
