Volunteers to Welcome Students to Campus on Jan. 11

Student Affairs is continuing its efforts to welcome new and returning students to campus on Monday, Jan. 11.

Please consider volunteering an hour to get the semester started on the right foot:

Ask Me! volunteers stand in key locations across campus with an “Ask Me!” sign and button to answer questions and get students pointed in the right direction for their classes or to conduct business.

If you can help, sign up for a shift here.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
