Staff and Faculty: Volunteer for Welcome Week!

Volunteers are needed to assist with several elements of the Welcome Week 2011 program. Join us in making the University of Minnesota a warm and friendly place for new students. A few hours of your time could have a tremendous impact.

Opportunities include:

  • Residence Hall Move-In (Aug. 29-31)
    Greet students and parents, guard belongings, or help with traffic flow.
  • New Student Convocation (Sept. 1)
    This campus tradition kicks off the first morning of Welcome Week. All first-year students are required to attend. We need greeters, section guides, and direction providers.
  • Class of 2015 Cookout (Sept. 2)
    We need food servers, line managers, direction providers, and greeters.

 

Specific details for all volunteer opportunities can be found at (you will need to log in with your U of M Internet ID): https://www.ofyp.umn.edu/forms/form.php?id=63

Help us welcome new students to their new home for the next 4 years. We need you! For more information on Welcome Week events visit www.welcomeweek.umn.edu.
