Help new and returning Roadrunners move into their home away from home!
Volunteer helping new students move into residence halls
UTSA Housing and Residence Life is seeking faculty and staff volunteers to help create a warm, welcoming experience for students during Move-In Week, taking place August 18–22.
During this busy period, thousands of new and returning Roadrunners will arrive on the Main Campus to move into their residence halls. Expect increased foot traffic, vehicle congestion near housing areas, and plenty of excitement as students and families settle in for the new academic year.
Volunteers will serve in a variety of important roles, such as greeting students and their families, giving directions, distributing carts or bins, passing out water, and helping carry light items. This is a great opportunity to show your Roadrunner spirit, connect with students and families, and help make their transition to campus life smooth and memorable.
Volunteer Details:
- Attire: Comfortable clothing suitable for moving activities in hot weather. No clothing with holes. Closed-toed shoes are required. A hat is recommended. Volunteers will receive an official event staff T-shirt to wear during their shift.
- Transportation: Volunteers are responsible for their own transportation to and from the event. All activities will take place on the Main UTSA Campus.
- Roles Available: Greeter, directional support, cart/bin distribution, water station, light carrying assistance, and more.
Large Group Registration:
If you would like to register a group of more than 25 people for a specific time slot, please contact Bailey Farmer no later than 5 p.m. on August 14 to arrange special accommodations and sign-up.
Faculty and staff from across the university are encouraged to volunteer. Your support will go a long way in creating a friendly, welcoming environment for our newest Roadrunners.
Sign up here to volunteer before August 15 and help make Move-In Week a success!
