Faculty and Staff Volunteer Opportunities
As Jayhawks are preparing to return to campus, opportunities for faculty and staff to connect with students are approaching! Below are in-person opportunities to welcome students to the Jayhawk family, as well as meet other KU faculty and staff. Volunteer shifts vary in length and location.
Move-in Operations (Aug. 20 & 21)
Volunteer to help students move in to residence halls across campus. Follow up emails from Housing & Residence Life and Transportation Services directing participants to specific location assignments will be sent closer to move-in. Volunteers should be prepared for any type of weather.
How you can help:
Building Support Volunteers greet families at halls, and then direct them to unload and move their vehicle to long term parking. Volunteers may also request to help students move items to their room.
Move-In Finish Line Family Reception (Aug. 20 & 21)
Move-In Day marks a significant milestone—not only for students, but also for their parents, families, and supporters. The Office of Family Engagement is seeking volunteers to welcome parents and families who have just helped their students move-in. Volunteers will check in Jayhawk family members, pass out commemorative medals, and assist guests with the
photobooth.
How you can help:
Volunteers will check in Jayhawk family members and pass out commemorative medals.
