Maryville College is Proud to Announce
“THE GREAT SCOTS! VOLUNTEER PROGRAM”

What is the Great Scots! volunteer program?

Many MC alumni, alumni spouses, students, and friends have expressed an interest in volunteering at the College. From these requests, the Great Scots! volunteer program was created to offer opportunities to stay connected and support the mission of the College. Great Scots! is “volunteer-friendly” as projects are well-organized and designed for all skill levels. Great Scots! volunteers have the flexibility to choose the level of their involvement and the commitment of their time.

How does the Great Scots! volunteer program work?

Contact Carol Clark, coordinator of the Great Scots! program, to sign up for categories of interest. Each category is coordinated by a volunteer who serves as the liaison between the College and the volunteers. Liaisons communicate through email opportunities to volunteers. Volunteers sign up by notifying the liaison they will participate. The liaison provides the College with the list of volunteers and their availability. Volunteer hours are recorded and will be reported in Scot-E-News.

Be a Great Scots! Volunteer from a Distance

Communication between the College, the liaisons and the volunteers will be electronic which allows the role of the liaison to be successfully performed from a distance.
