FOR ADVISORS’: Campus Housing Move-In Volunteers Needed on 8/16 and 8/17
We hope you have enjoyed your summer. The new academic year is quickly approaching. In just 2 weeks more than 3400 on campus residents will begin arriving on campus, and more than 2000 of these residents will be 1st year students. Move-in days for these first-year students will be Wednesday, August 16th and Thursday, August 17th from 8:00 am-5:00 pm. These are exciting days, but also can be scary for our new students. We want to make our new students feel safe and welcome from the moment they arrive on campus. Move-In days are a great opportunity to not only welcome our new students, but also an opportunity to interact with their families. It's time to show our UIC pride.
While we do have student crews to move belongings up to student rooms, there are many areas in which we could use additional support and would appreciate any time you could spare.
What would your task be if you were interested in assisting?
- Directing cars in and out of check-in locations
- Greeting vehicles at residence halls unloading zones
- Assisting families with unloading cars and directing them to parking ramps
- Assisting with key distribution
- Monitoring elevators
- Serving as Residence Hall Greeters
How does this all work?
- You would be assigned one residence hall location or move-in location. We will let you know where to meet and who to meet.
- You would be provided a free UIC Move-In T-shirt to wear.
- Work shifts are 3 hours (8-11 am, 11am-2pm, 2-5 pm) on both Wednesday and Thursday.
- We would provide instructions regarding what you will be doing and how to do it prior to Opening Week.
- Safety vests will be provided for those directing traffic.
- Necessary accommodations will be made upon request.
- Anyone assisting over the Lunch hours will be provided a meal courtesy of Campus Housing
We realize the week of August 14-18 is a busy time for everyone and we are asking a great deal of you when your own offices might be quite busy, and we appreciate any time you can give in supporting our on-campus residents.
