Volunteers needed for MyStart information booths

The Office of Student Life seeks faculty, staff and students to volunteer at the MyStart information booths. 

Running Tuesday, September 7 through Friday, September 10, the MyStart information booths will welcome new and returning students to campus, including a significant number of second-year students who may be on campus for the first time. Volunteers will answer students’ questions and help them navigate campus.

Information booths and volunteer way-finders will be stationed at key locations and points of entry throughout campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To limit congestion indoors, all stations will be outside and shelter will be provided where possible. Virtual help will also be available for those attending classes online.

To sign up, complete the by Wednesday, August 25.

You will receive an email the week of August 30 confirming your shift and booth location.

  • You will receive an overview of the program, tips on wayfinding and providing support, and information about COVID-19 health and safety measures and protocols.
  • Volunteers will receive an email the week of August 30 with a link to the training.
