“The VIP Leadership Conference is a must-attend event for any University of Rochester volunteer. The knowledge shared and connections made will make you feel empowered as you continue to support the University community.”
– DION CHAY ’98S (MBA)
“As a recent graduate and former Student Alumni Ambassador, this conference is an important opportunity to not only further my capacity to give back to the Rochester community, but it’s also a vital chance to meet and celebrate all of our volunteers and the incredible work they do on campus, virtually, and around the world.”
–CELIA KONOWE ’21, ’22 (T5)
“I attend the VIP Leadership Conference to reconnect to the University and receive updates on new and emerging programs. It’s also a great chance to interact with other volunteer leaders who are as passionate, if not more so, about Rochester as I am.”
–LISA NORWOOD ’86, ’95W (MS), P’13, P’20
“The VIP Leadership Conference is a wonderful way to connect as one community of volunteers from across all schools and units at the University of Rochester. Spending time together, along with the amazing University faculty, staff, and students, deepens my connection with the University and gives me additional information and skills to enhance my volunteer work, as well as enriches me professionally and socially.”
–JASON SMITH ’03, ’08W (MS)
