Staff volunteers
Graduation is one of the most important events in the University’s calendar. We need staff volunteers to help make graduation a happy and special occasion.
Why we need volunteers
We rely on the support of staff volunteers who generously give their time to be part of graduation week. There are a variety of roles to get involved with and these ensure the smooth running of the ceremonies.
