The Lively
Arts is hoping to increase our list of ushers this year for the
Ovations! performances by touring artists (12 shows this season).
Ushering is a volunteer activity, but a terrific way for students to
earn Community Service hours, add to their resume, and see all of the
shows for free!
We run a very brief, informal "New Ushers" meeting prior
to the first performance so that everyone is comfortable with
their responsibilities.
If interested, please contact Karen L. Mathe, Performance Services Assistant for The Lively Arts by phone at 724-357-2547 or email at k.l.mathe@iup.edu.
Though the annual cycle of community service during the school year begins in September and runs though May, upperclassmen may still submit up to 30 hours of summer service towards the next school year's requirement. Remember that summer service requires pre-approval and a signed letter or email from a service supervisor to verify upon completion.
You should not expect summer service to count retroactively for the previous school year.
Telecounselors are ambassadors for the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions and the university. These students are
responsible for
contacting prospective students to relay important information,
answer
questions regarding campus life and the admissions process, as
well as help
with the anxieties and concerns of both parents and students to
the best of
their ability. In addition, telecounselors are a resource for
prospective students
in the college selection and application process. The
telecounseling process
provides a human touch for prospective students, something more
than
information in the mail.
