Campus Locator Services -- Wednesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24 All Over Campus
Thank you for your interest! We are no longer in need of volunteers for Wednesday, but we still need additional volunteers Thursday, especially from 11 am to 1 pm.
During the first two days of classes, volunteers are needed in two hour shifts to help students find their way around campus. Campus maps and other informational resources are provided for volunteers.
While the volunteers will be spread out across campus, there will be seven central locations staffed by volunteers where information will be stored -- South Oval by Enarson Hall, College Road North of the Oval, 17th & Neil, 12th & Neil, Woodruff Avenue near Neilwood Gables, Woodruff Avenue near Agriculture Admin, and the Carmack parking lots. If you have a preferred location at which you would like to be stationed, please indicate that preference below, and we will make every effort to assign you there. We just need to ensure that every location is staffed adequately at all times.
To volunteer for Campus Locator Services, please fill out and submit the form below. Questions can be directed to Zach Usmani at zusmani@studentlife.osu.edu.
Convocation -- Monday, September 21, 2009 at St. John Arena
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions/First Year Experience seeks faculty, staff, and students to fill a number of volunteer roles. There are two ways to volunteer for Convocation 2009.
1. Volunteer as a greeter and program distributor. We need help distributing "goodie" bags and programs to the new students as they arrive for Convocation. We also need volunteers to help students find seats and answer general questions. These volunteers are asked to check in at the arena by 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the event. This commitment lasts until approximately 11:00 a.m.
2. Cheer at the stadium. Cheerers are asked to report to the north end of the stadium by 11:15 a.m. on the morning of the event. Cheerers are going to cheer for the new students as they process from the Convocation through the Stadium to the Student Involvement Fair on the Oval. This commitment lasts until approximately 12:30 p.m.
To volunteer for Convocation, RSVP by September 15 to convocation@osu.edu with your shift availability. You will receive your volunteer assignment and more details in early September.
If you have questions regarding Convocation 2009, contact Julie Schultz at schultz.173@osu.edu or 247-4341.
