Reunion Volunteers

Class ambassadors help us reach as many classmates as possible and create excitement for WashU reunion.

What do class ambassadors do? 

• Contact 20–25 assigned classmates. Don’t worry! We’ll send you everything you need to invite your classmates to reunion and become an ambassador, including a customized WashU reunion class ambassador guide with talking points. 
• Participate in one conference call in spring 2023. We’ll bring your class ambassadors together virtually to kickoff the reunion celebrations.
• Keep up with and share reunion news. Like our Facebook page, follow the Alumni Association on Twitter and Instagram, and read our monthly reunion emails. Share news and updates on social media and via email! 
• Make a class gift of any amount. Your gift to the school, program, or scholarship of your choice shows that you are committed to the university’s success, and it really does make a difference for today’s students. Any gift you make between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, automatically counts toward your class gift, and the total amount of a five-year pledge will be included!  
• Attend reunion and have a great time. Relax and enjoy your time with friends knowing your work is done! We do not ask class ambassadors to volunteer during reunion. 

Not all alumni are able to attend in-person reunion events, but class gifts allow everyone to participate in the celebration. They also help ensure that current and future students continue to have an exceptional WashU experience.

What do class gift committee members do? 

1. Connect with classmates and explain the importance of giving. We’ll provide all of the information you need about the class gift program and training and tools to easily reach your classmates. 
2. Encourage classmates to get involved. It’s all about name recognition and power in numbers!
3. Contribute any amount to your class gift. Your gift to the school, program, or scholarship of your choice shows that you are committed to the university’s success—and it really does make a difference for today’s students. Any gift you make between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, automatically counts toward your class gift, and the total amount of a five-year pledge will be included.
4. Participate in conference calls. We’ll hold four conference calls throughout your reunion year—there’s no need to live close to WashU!
