Local collegiate chapter looking for advisers!

Our local collegiate chapter at Tufts University is looking for advisers. Some adviser roles can be done from long-distance, via email or phone, and don't require a significant time commitment. There is something for everyone! Additionally, many of the international volunteers that work with this chapter are local, so there will be support for any questions you encounter along the way.

If you are interested in learning more about the opportunities available, please contact Delta's Chapter Adviser, Lauren Simpson, at l.simpson714@gmail.com or via phone at 630-730-5628.
