Move-In Volunteers Needed

Faculty, staff, administrators, fellow students, student group and student athletes are needed for move-in to welcome new and returning Griz students to campus! Help us create an exciting and welcoming environment and assist incoming students with parking, by providing directions and information, and helping them move their belongings into the residence halls. Students will be given the option to ship their items prior to move-in this year so volunteer time should be spent more time welcoming students, providing information, and directing traffic than on moving in belongings. Volunteers are needed:

  • 8:30 a.m.-8 p.m., Monday, August 19, 2024

All volunteers who commit to at least two hours will receive a free meal in the Food Zoo and a Move-In Crew t-shirt (signing up to volunteer by July 21 guarantees your desired t-shirt size).

Volunteer sign-up is currently closed. Check back as Move-In Day approaches to sign up as a volunteer for Move-In Day 2024.
