Move-In Day Volunteer Opportunity

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 15:28:01 -0400

August is an exciting time where we get to welcome new and returning Retrievers and their families to campus. Residential Life hopes you will join in on the fun as a move-in volunteer!

We need support on both move-in days Saturday, August 23, 2025 & Monday, August 25, 2025.

Please consider assisting on one or both days and complete this form no later than August 19, 2025 to confirm your interest in volunteering. Those who volunteer will get a complimentary t-shirt and a meal at True Grits for the day(s) they support!

Volunteers can sign up to assist in the following ways:

Traffic Leaders: Work with Campus Police, Parking, and student volunteers to ensure good traffic flow, and efficient unloading zone process.

Community Engagement Coordinators: Work with student volunteers outside of residential communities to greet and support residents and their families as they arrive at the unloading zones. They will bring the energy connection, help ensure cars are unloading and relocating quickly and that move-in carts are available.

Family Shuttle Drivers: Drive golf cart shuttles that bring families to and from Residential Communities and the Stadium Parking Lot throughout the move-in process (must have a valid drivers license).

Water Distribution Team: Drive golf cart shuttles to volunteers outside on the loop, families waiting in lines, and others as needed (must have a valid drivers license).

One-Stop-Shop Support: These volunteers will help students with account holds navigate campus resources/supports at the Apartment Community Center.

Thank you in advance for making move-in a memorable experience for residential students and their families.
