THON first-year committee applications are now open for THON 2025.

The first-year committee, which was created in the fall of 2020, gives first-years who missed the initial committee member application the opportunity to get involved.

Between January and February, selected applicants will attend weekly meetings to learn about THON’s history, committee roles, and how THON fundraises. Instead of choosing a preferred committee, first-year committee members will get a taste of the various jobs performed at THON.

Applications must be submitted to the THON website by 5 p.m. on Monday, December 16.
