Convocations Volunteer Network (CVN) was officially established in 1985 to support and promote the performing arts presentations brought to campus by Purdue Convocations. Today, CVN has a membership of more than 300 students from various majors and backgrounds and participates in every performance of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CVN Volunteers get to experience the performing arts on Purdue\u2019s campus for FREE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">CVN is a partner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/convocations\/events\/\">Purdue Convocations<\/a>, which gives us the opportunity to provide volunteers to usher for all their events on campus. The events are held in Elliott Hall of Music, Loeb Playhouse, and Fowler Hall, and they offer a wide range of exciting performances each season. Our ushers have gotten to see hot bands like Panic! At the Disco, famous speakers like Bill Nye, classical musicians from all over the world, and top Broadway productions like <em>Rent<\/em> and <em>Cinderella<\/em>. The best part: all members ushering for a given show are invited to stay and see that show for FREE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">CVN also takes part in a variety of special events, including receptions with the performers, parties with the patrons, and lots of social activities. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/convocations\/events\/\">E-board<\/a> is dedicated to making CVN a community you will love here at Purdue. Everything is optional, and you get to pick how involved you want to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"container  \">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"CVN Elliott\" class=\"wp-image-1445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/unnamed-1.jpg 1279w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A Broadway show at Elliott Hall of Music<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interested in Joining?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-boiler-gold-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 See any Convocations show for FREE when you usher<br>\u2022 Meet friends with similar interests from different majors<br>\u2022 Eat free dinner at shows and social events<br>\u2022 Develop valuable public relations skills<br>\u2022 Interact with performers from around the world<br>\u2022 Participate in fun social events<br>\u2022 Volunteer at as few or as many shows as you want!<br><strong>For information on how to join our network of students for the arts, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/how-to-join\/\">How to Join<\/a> page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:186px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":218,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/218"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":41,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31958,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions\/31958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/cvn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
