Faculty and Staff Volunteers Needed for Move-In Weekend

The energy of campus elevates when we welcome our new students and their families to campus each year. We invite faculty and staff to join us for the 16th year of the Move-In Volunteers initiative. We need you to help welcome our new students to campus. Move a couple of crates, give directions or be a friendly face for incoming Huskies and their families.

Volunteer shifts for faculty, staff and students are available Aug. 19 and Aug. 20. Please register by Aug. 12 to volunteer. You can choose to be a move-in helper or greeter, or provide traffic flow support. If you have the availability, feel free to volunteer for more than one shift.

You will also be asked to provide your contact information and T-shirt size. In keeping with the University's sustainability efforts, we will have a similar Welcome Crew shirt design as in past Move-Ins, so you may wear a previous year’s shirt if you have one.

Additional information about your Move-In volunteer shift will be emailed the week of Aug. 14. If you have any questions, contact the Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success at success@mtu.edu or 906-487-3558. Thank you in advance for supporting our new students!
