About
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Move-In 2024!
This campus and community-wide event is a celebration of our expanding nest. Your support for this important campus tradition provides a welcoming environment for more than 2,750 new Seahawks and their families. On what can be an incredibly exciting and emotional day, we ease the transition and amount of time it takes for new first-year students to move-in to their residence halls, allowing them to celebrate this milestone with their families, explore campus, and feel more prepared for their first day of classes.
Move-In occurs over two days: Friday, August 16th and Saturday, August 17th. We welcome you to register for one volunteer shift on Friday and one volunteer shift on Saturday!
Every volunteer will receive breakfast, lunch, parking, and a move-in t-shirt for each day of volunteering. Students who volunteer and live in campus housing will also be permitted to move into their fall assignment on Thursday, August 15th.
Our greatest need is at residence halls assisting new students moving in personal items. More information about responsibilities for each shift are included below.
Sign up is first-come, first-serve, so if you would like to volunteer at a specific location, sign up early!
