Itching to get more involved with THON next year? Well, now’s your chance.

The THON 2024 spring captain application is now open for anyone to fill out. Completed applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 13, to be considered. To apply, visit the THON application website.

So, what are THON captains? They are leaders that help THON Weekend run smoothly, as well as assist with other aspects of THON such as maintaining relationships with THON families, planning other THON events, and more. Part of the captain application asks applicants to list their top three choices for committees and positions. A full list of all the captain positions and what they do can be found here.

In addition to committee preference, the application also asks for basic personal and academic information, availability, five open-ended questions about previous leadership experiences, skills, challenges, ideas for making THON better, and to upload a resume and include two references.

Although this captain application window is coming to a close, there will be a second THON 2024 captain application round that will open in August.
