MOVE-IN VOLUNTEERING

Want to be a move-in volunteer? Join the Saluki Move-In Squad!

We are pleased to once again offer this amazing opportunity for student groups and community groups to welcome our Salukis to their new home.

This year, we are encouraging groups to wear their own shirts/colors/logos. University Housing does not allow solicitation or recruitment of students during this time, but we think this will help students to identify the groups who’ve taken the time to ensure they received a warm welcome. This will provide groups an opportunity to truly be seen and recognized for their volunteer work. Due to the heat and the number of people in the space, we recommend volunteers wear t-shirts, shorts that are longer/almost to the knee, and closed-toed athletic shoes.

All volunteers will be expected to check-in at the volunteer stations, where we will be giving out Move-In Volunteer lanyards and collecting liability waivers. All volunteers must submit a liability waiver in order to assist, and the lanyard will be given out after the waiver is collected. Receiving the lanyard helps our new Salukis and families know that you’re officially part of the squad.

Please find our liability waiver here. We will have a few waivers on-site, but if you’re able to print the waiver and bring it with you, that will help to expedite our check-in process.

Please use the links below to view the available timeslots and to sign-up via our Sign-up Genius. We ask that volunteers limit to working just two shifts, to commit to working the entire time selected, and to assist all students moving in rather than just students of a particular program or residence hall. If no available time slots appear, we have reached the maximum number of volunteer opportunities available for that location and time frame.
