Volunteering at the AUA

Volunteering at the AUA

Being a volunteer opens up new opportunities that can develop skills outside the remit of your day job. It enhances your professional profile by connecting you up to new networks and actively involves you in professionalising the HE sector.

Roles at the AUA

Network Coordinators and Advocates

The AUA is a professional community that thrives at a national, regional and local level because of the commitment and enthusiasm of our Network Coordinators and Advocates. Our Network Coordinators and Advocates represent us at their institutions and organisations; raising awareness of the AUA, recruiting new members, motivating current members to actively participate in our activities and their professional development and communicating local ideas to the AUA team to keep us in touch with you and your needs. Find out more
