Alumni Volunteer Program
At Kettering University, our mission is to prepare students for a life of extraordinary leadership and service.
From a student’s first week on campus, they begin to foster an appreciation for giving back by serving others. During Freshman Orientation Week, students go out into the local community on Service Saturday, led by upper-class students, and volunteer with nonprofits and local neighborhoods, improving the community they will be living and learning in the next few years of their lives.
The Alumni Volunteer Program, in partnership with the KGMI Alumni Association, provides volunteer opportunities for alumni to impact students, future bulldogs, and the Kettering community. Whether you are returning to campus as a guest lecturer, a student mentor, serving on an advisory board, or volunteering at Commencement, thank you for giving back to your alma mater and impacting students.
