FACULTY & STAFF MOVE-IN VOLUNTEER

Faculty and Staff Move-in Volunteers for Fall 2024

Each year, faculty and staff volunteer their time to welcome over 4,000 new on-campus residents while assisting with move-in. Volunteers assist in unloading vehicles, checking out keys to students as they are welcomed to campus, and driving golf carts to transport students and families from long term parking to the residence halls and apartments. 

Feedback from move-in surveys continually provide great feedback to our faculty and staff volunteers indicating the help of a volunteer made students move-in experience easy, helpful, and positive.
