Running since September 2013, the Student Recruitment Office’s Volunteer Program aims to further expand the potential of student engagement in recruitment activities by bringing together a group of current students, committed to CEU’s mission, who would like to get involved in finding suitable candidates for the university. In the pilot year (2013-2014), a group of 13 active CEU students participated in the program.
The participants, also known as Student Recruitment Contacts/Volunteers, can join in various events and outreach activities on and off campus, including fair participation in Hungary, campus tours and presentations as well as networking with Hungarian youth organizations.
The Student Recruitment Contact/Volunteer acts as a country and department-specific representative, working closely together with students, faculty and the Student Recruitment Office to promote CEU’s programs, services and mission. In addition to assisting with different events throughout the current recruitment cycle, the volunteers may also carry on as CEU ambassadors in recruitment efforts after graduation.
