Students help on Move-in Day last year

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- University Housing is looking for some great volunteers to assist with Move-In this year.  It's hot work but great fun greeting our students as they move into their new University of Arkansas home.

How can I help?  Volunteers can help in a variety of ways—directing traffic, unloading cars, moving resident items up to their rooms, handing out and collecting paperwork and, most importantly, welcoming our students to the University of Arkansas.

When can I help?  Volunteers are needed for the assisted Move-In Day on Wednesday, August 21, from 6:30 a.m. until 12 p.m. Preferred volunteer shift times are from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. but we are willing to work with the schedules of our volunteers. Volunteers will be needed to assist at all of the residence halls and parking lots across campus on that day. 

Who do I contact?  You can sign up as an individual, an office, an RSO or a department.  To sign up as a Move-In volunteer, please click on the link  below:
