From students to faculty and staff, everyone can be involved in Open House. The committee needs energetic student leaders, faculty and staff to volunteer, whether at registration, greeting guests or leading groups of visiting students around the campus. Volunteering is a great way to show off our campus, programs and services and to allow students to experience all that makes 麻豆传媒 great.
