Alumni/Volunteers

OVAL — Outreach Volunteer Alumni Link

Welcome to OVAL!

OVAL stands for Outreach Volunteer Alumni Link. OVAL members are alumni — and in some cases parent – ambassadors all over the country and the world who will represent Stanford for the Office of Undergraduate Admission in a host of outreach activities.

Our goal is for dedicated volunteers to

• share their Stanford experiences with students; and
• serve as resources for students who want to learn more about Stanford… or who don’t know much at all about us yet.

Our members are everywhere, including many places that our staff cannot physically be. Through OVAL we hope to mobilize Stanford alumni/parents to help Stanford reach schools, neighborhoods and communities across the globe, and especially those underserved by traditional educational resources.

OVAL Opportunities

• Attending local college fairs
• Attending regional information sessions
• Serving on panels for prospective students
• Attending/hosting admitted student receptions
• Calling admitted and/or prospective students
• Conducting applicant interviews (in selected areas)

For most volunteers, the OVAL time commitment will be about 5-10 hours/year.
