How would I go about listing a job shadow role on my resume?

I had the opportunity to job shadow a Network Administrator at a local university for 2 hours. I told him if he ever needed any help, dont be afraid to contact me. How would I go about listing this on my resume?

Agreed leave it off the resume. However, you could discuss it in an interview.When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened."

Could I maybe list it as a volunteer role instead of work positions? -

You shadowed and did nothing for 2 hours. It will become clearly obvious in 30 seconds that you did nothing to the hiring manager. Leave it off. And you weren't given a way to "sneak" it onto your resume. You volunteered nothing for shadowing. I once shadowed a Dr in high school, does that mean I should sneak Gynecologist onto my resume? -

Have to agree. 2 hours is really nothing. As a hiring team member, If I see this on a resume I would go "WHAT IN THE WORLD ?!?!?!" -
