Fall Welcome volunteersFall Welcome is almost here, and you can be a part of this exciting tradition by volunteering to help with move-in and signature events.  

Fall Welcome starts with new student move-in on Aug. 18 and continues through Sept. 6. Hundreds of staff, faculty and students volunteer each year to help make Fall Welcome a success. Whether you assist with move-in week or at events, there are many different volunteer roles and ways to help.  

Here are three reasons to volunteer for Fall Welcome this year. 

1. Create a positive experience for new Buffs and families 

Moving to a new place is much more enjoyable when you have friendly faces to help you out! As a Fall Welcome volunteer, you can help create a fun and positive experience for students and their families when they arrive on campus. Whether you volunteer for a move-in shift or at an event, you’ll have the chance to share your favorite tips about Boulder and life on campus. 

2. Do something fun with your department or group 

A great way to break up your daily routine and bond with your peers and colleagues is through volunteering! As a volunteer, you get to be part of the excitement during Fall Welcome. Volunteering is a great way to step out of your usual role on campus and spend time helping our students kick off a new school year.   

Sign up for a few shifts with others from your group, student organization or department. Contact Andrew Alexander with questions about group sign-ups. 

3. Get a CU Boulder T-shirt 

Who doesn’t love a free T-shirt? When you sign up for any volunteer shift during Fall Welcome, you’ll get a CU Boulder volunteer T-shirt and other gear to wear. 

Volunteers are essential in creating a positive and welcoming experience for our new campus community members. Sign up to volunteer today
