Movers & Shakers
Making Move-In A Smooth Process
A special program, called Movers & Shakers, brings nearly 100 student organization volunteers to campus in order to assist students on move-day (This service only functions on new student move-in days). The program provides assistance in carrying student’s belongings up to their rooms. We will begin a sign up at the beginning of April 2013 outside Lankford Student Union Room 218 on the bulletin board or CLICK HERE.
Movers and Shakers Volunteers will be assigned one of three roles:
- Mover and Shaker: the traditional role in which volunteers assist new students with moving into their residence hall. M&S is typically divided up into morning and afternoon shifts with volunteers only assigned to one shift and earn 4 community service hours.
- Parking/Traffic Control: in this role, volunteers will work with campus police to manage and direct move-in traffic. Parking will also be divided up into morning and afternoon shifts with volunteers only assigned to one shift and earn 4 community service hours.
- B&N Book Delivery: this is a new partnership in which students will work with B&N to deliver books throughout the day to first-year students who signed up for the service. This role will cover BOTH morning AND afternoon shift and volunteers will earn 8 community service hours.
Students will have the opportunity to rank which role they prefer, however, we cannot guarantee you will be assigned your first or second choice.
