Volunteer
There’s no better way to deepen your connection to UND than by sharing your talent
as a volunteer.
When we come together to lend a hand, our volunteer efforts reach every corner of
our UND community. Join fellow alumni each year who give their time to make a difference
for students and on campus. If you’re searching for something specific or simply looking
for inspiration, we can help.

Student Mentoring
Speaking Opportunities
Students have access to many resources for choosing majors or exploring career paths.
But nothing compares to connecting with working professionals in their fields of
study. If you would like share with students in your area of expertise, please reach
out.

Women’s Athletic Leadership Council (WLC)
Behind every successful woman, there are countless women who paved the way before
her. The story is no different for the 150+ female student-athletes at the University
of North Dakota. The Women's Athletic Leadership Council mentors, engages, encourages,
empowers and financially supports UND's female athletes.
If you're a former female UND student-athlete and looking for ways to give back, this
Council is for you. Contact Jill Cholewa at 559.706.6889 or jillcholewa56@gmail.com if you'd like to join. You may also give to the Women Behind the Women Scholarship
endowment.
