Student Involvement

The Office of Community Engagement is looking for energetic and dedicated students to volunteer at the 2019 Commencement Ceremony and Senior Week Activities.  Volunteers are obligated to assist with Senior Week events and Commencement from Monday, May 13 to Friday, May 17.  Volunteers will be provided with meals during their terms of commitment and will be permitted to stay in on-campus housing until Friday, May 17, 2018 at 9:00pm. Volunteers are not guaranteed that they will be able to stay in their current housing assignments due to availability, cleaning, and future tenants.

Volunteers must be fully available to assist with events from May 13-17 and cannot be on any academic or disciplinary probation.  Volunteers who do not assist with the scheduled events or show for responsibilities will be charged a late departure fee from the Office of Community Engagement.   All volunteers must attend Commencement on Friday, May 17, as early as 7:00 am and stay through the entire ceremony to assist with tasks at the end of the event (approximately 3:00pm). Volunteers will be able to move out, leave campus or be picked up once they return to campus post-ceremony. Transportation will be provided to and from our Commencement site.

All students who respond will be considered and reviewed but only 20 volunteers will be accepted, no late exceptions will be made. Interested applicants cannot be on any form of probation (academic, residential, or disciplinary) and must submit their interest by Friday, April 26th at noon. Volunteers who are selected will be contacted via email by May 1st and are required to attend a staff meeting on Wednesday, May 8th at 12:15pm (unless in an academic commitment). Additional information regarding this meeting, job assignments and schedule will be sent to the selected volunteers via email and/or provided at this meeting.
