Become a Volunteer Alumni Coordinator (VAC)
Volunteer alumni coordinators (VACs) are graduates from the University of Auckland who play a vital role in helping to connect alumni around the globe. With over 180,000 alumni spread all over the world, our alumni volunteers help to form and grow alumni networks in the cities where they live.
If there isn't a VAC in your area, you may want to consider being the main point of contact for University of Auckland alumni in your city, and help to bring alumni together.
