In this role, student volunteers will share their experiences at Montclair, answer questions about campus life, and help future students learn more about the university.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The time commitment is\u00a0approximately 1\u20135 hours per week, and volunteers will communicate with students through video calls and messaging. Because prospective students join from different parts of the world, volunteers should have some availability that works across multiple time zones (such as early mornings or later evenings).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a great opportunity to develop mentorship and leadership skills while representing 糖心vlog and helping future Red Hawks feel welcomed and informed. Additionally, volunteers will have the opportunity to develop global perspectives and cultural literacy, while creating connections from around the world.
