Overview: Spend quality time connecting with University leaders, alumni, and other students, while putting your driving and networking skills to work as a reunion driver. As a driver, you will be one of the primary students to interact with reunioning alumni, as you transport them around campus. Drivers will support all on-campus reunions and work in partnership with HAA Reunions staff to determine priority events and locations throughout reunions week. Drivers will assist alumni with accessibility and mobility challenges, and provide excellent customer service when fielding questions from alumni. Drivers may also assist with guiding alumni to Reunion events from headquarters or designated pick-up or drop-off locations, and will always ensure a safe driving experience. Drivers are expected to assist the Student Crew in charge of the Reunion Registration area, as well as members of the HAA Reunions staff. Drivers represent the diverse opinions, thoughts, values, and realities of today's College experience. Drivers report to the Senior Director of College Alumni Programs and the Chief Transportation Coordinator and will operate passenger vans and moving trucks during the week of Reunions, May 21, 2020– May 31, 2020. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, transporting alumni/ae to parking lots and dorm rooms, transporting staff to event locations, and transporting Reunion supplies to designated areas on campus.
