Community Host
About the role
TU Delft has a worldwide network of over 100,000 Delft engineers. At several places all around the world, we have active alumni communities who get together on a regular basis (in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, the Nordics, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Japan, Jakarta, etc). Our community hosts are our main points of contact at these locations. They know the city and the alumni community well, can help with organising events and can redirect questions to the right people. Community hosts play a large role in keeping the community active by initiating their own events, (co-) organising Event in a Box, and by encouraging and supporting other alumni to become actively involved in the community. In the ideal situation, you team up with 3 to 5 fellow alumni per location.We are always looking for alumni who would like to play an active role in their city or country. Either at a location where there already is an active community, or at a location where we can build an alumni community together.
