Residential Life's "Great Move-In Day" is fast becoming a favorite tradition of each fall semester, as faculty and staff leave their offices to help students get situated in their new home away from home.

Great Move-In Day is Thursday, Aug. 24.

To make the experience as seamless as possible for our fall arrivals, Residential Life is asking for volunteers spread out over three shifts: 10 a.m.-2 p.m., 2-6 p.m., and 6-10 p.m.

Volunteers help greet parents and students, direct new students, and sometimes even carry luggage and other student belongings straight to the students' rooms.

You can sign up for exactly the shift, location and job you want by visiting Residential Life's volunteer registration site.

Residential Life is offering training sessions in late July and early August. To schedule those sessions as soon as possible, staff ask that you sign up for a shift by Saturday, July 22. If you have any questions, contact coordinator Andrew Moneymaker at 6312 or amoneymaker.
