College Night Program
Volunteer for annual community event
 
Local high schools dedicate one night each fall when universities are invited to setup a booth and promote themselves. The UT National Alumni Association provides the Houston Chapter with great brochures and marketing materials. We just need the VOLunteers to help staff a booth at their local high school.

Send an email to Barry Chambers if you are able to help with the College Night Program.
