Flyer Recruitment

Through personalized outreach, volunteers congratulate committed students, answer questions, encourage students to participate through in-person and digital events and share personal experiences from their time at UD. Individuals can volunteer from any location.

Volunteers will be asked to call and text approximately 10-15 admitted students in the summer. Additionally, volunteers may have the opportunity to send postcards to incoming students the summer before classes start.

Volunteers will be asked to review the Flyer Champion Handbook, participate in a digital training session and be committed to fulfilling role requirements in a timely fashion. Training sessions will be offered in the spring, volunteers only need to attend one 1-hour training.

Support UD's admission efforts by volunteering at in-person events where you might interact with prospective students and families by answering questions or speaking during programs. If an event is happening locally, staff will reach out to potential volunteers who will receive training materials and may be asked to attend a digital training session.

Represent the University of Dayton at local college fairs, where you'll receive academic and application information to share with prospective students, supporting the recruitment of a competitive and diverse student body. Volunteer opportunities at these fairs, which vary in location annually, are determined by the site host, and staff will contact potential volunteers in their local communities if an event is taking place.

Recommend a high school student that embodies the characteristics of a Flyer and the desire to learn, lead and serve. Admission staff will follow-up with prospective students.

Volunteers must:

• Hold an undergraduate degree from the University of Dayton.
• Enjoy interacting with others and sharing your Flyer pride.
• Be committed to growing a diverse student population.
• Have the time required to fulfill volunteer duties.
• Follow guidelines set by the National Association of College Admission Counseling.

Guardians of students currently applying to UD and alumni who are college admission professionals or independent/community college counselors are not eligible to volunteer.
