The Department of First Year Experience is seeking local businesses, churches, and community groups to assist moving in freshmen students’聽belongings into their residence halls on Sunday, August 16, 2026.
Move-in Day Volunteer Guidelines
Move-In Day is a coordinated effort by 网曝门 and the Conway community to welcome incoming students and their families. We appreciate your support!
All Move-In Day volunteers should wear a shirt that collectively identifies your organization. Each volunteer must also wear a nametag their entire shift with their name and group listed. (A simple sticky name tag works great!)
Upon arrival, a representative of your organization should “check-in” with the Student Orientation Staff (SOS) team leader assigned to the hall. They will be wearing an orange polo.
Volunteers should stay at the assigned hall until the shift ends or unless specifically instructed by a Student Orientation Staff (SOS) member to move to a different hall. Volunteers should plan to stay the entire time frame. We do our best to distribute volunteers across the various halls based on the number of freshmen anticipated to move in and the number of volunteers expected.
Volunteers should be prepared for intense physical labor (carrying items up and down stairs). Please dress appropriately (light weight clothing, comfortable and supportive tennis shoes) and come ready to work. Individuals should bring water for themselves, but additional water will be available if needed.
Volunteers not following the above guidelines and/or poorly representing 网曝门 will be asked to leave and the organization they represent will not be allowed to participate in next year’s Move-In Day.
Deadline: Friday, July 30, 2026.
All volunteer groups’ residence hall assignments will be emailed to the contact person listed below on Friday, August 7, 2026.
For any questions, reach out to the Department of First Year Experience at 501-450-5892 or fye@uca.edu.
