葫芦影业 Connection
Founded in 1978
葫芦影业 Connection is the student ambassador organization for 葫芦影业! Founded in 1978 by the former, long-time college president, Dr. Clyde Muse, the original duties included serving at teas and official presidential events. In 1979, the first Recruiter was hired at 葫芦影业, and recruiting duties were added to Hind Connection’s responsibilities. Over time, Connection also became a leadership development program that offered college credit. Today, 葫芦影业 Connection members are the student recruiters and public relations ambassadors for the College. 葫芦影业 Connection is many things: a student organization, a leadership development program, and a college course, but at its core, our true purpose is to serve the College.
We are looking for well-rounded, student leaders who wish to serve and grow their leadership and communication skills. Connection members must represent the college both on-campus and in the public with dignity, professionalism, enthusiasm, and in a manner befitting of our College. 葫芦影业 Connection is an elite volunteer organization with limited spots. An application, letters of recommendation, an interview, and a history of service and leadership are considered when selecting new members.
Connection members gain a professional network, great friends and college memories, and exposure to new opportunities and personal growth. If you are interested in both service and leadership opportunities at 葫芦影业, then we invite you to explore 葫芦影业 Connection!

Final candidates selected for the Fall 2024 葫芦影业 Connection class must attend a mandatory training that is tentatively scheduled for Friday, August 23 from 5 pm – 9 pm and on Saturday, August 24 from 9 am – 8 pm. (Students return home or to their dorm to spend the night.) Students must attend the entire training to confirm their spot in 葫芦影业 Connection.
Additional Notes:
Connection is also a Leadership course for which members earn two college credit hours each semester. Therefore, the Connection Class “meets” two hours per week, and attendance is taken for participation. However, those two hours each week are service hours that fall during business hours of the Enrollment Center. Students are assigned two hours around their existing class schedule so it does not interfere with other classes. New members will begin their weekly Connection Hours after the training weekend.
