Volunteering is a great way to gain valuable skills, make new friends, and help your community. Housing and Residence Life offers many opportunities for you to volunteer! Whether you’re looking to volunteer for our annual move-in to welcome on-campus residents, or an event or project for students in our on-campus community, we have many options for you to get involved!
We are seeking Move Crew volunteers to help us welcome our on-campus residents. Move Crew volunteers will greet students, unload items, and deliver student’s belongings to their rooms. We need your help for both of our Summer Bridge move-in days (August 14 and 15) as well as our traditional fall move-in days (August 21 and 22). For more details and to sign up, please fill out our form using the link below.
Please note: If you or your group have any volunteers who are not able to lift and move residents’ items, we still need your help. There several new Move Crew positions for those individuals and we will assign them based on the necessary accommodations. Please contact Madelin Willis (willmade@iupui.edu) if this applies to you or members in your group.
Effective July 6, 2021, masks are optional within campus buildings for those who are fully vaccinated. Those who are exempt from the vaccine requirement or in the process of becoming fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask inside buildings on campus. All individuals regardless of vaccination status will need to continue to wear a mask on public transportation, including campus buses, per guidelines from the Transportation Security Administration.
Yes. We welcome organizations from outside of the university to help us welcome students to campus. All organizations must be approved by Housing and Residence Life.
This year HRL is unable to provide t-shirts for volunteers. Volunteers are encouraged to wear shirts that highlight the organization they are volunteering, provided that the apparel is appropriate and not otherwise objectionable. Volunteers are also welcome to wear IUPUI spirit wear.
Move Crew shifts for each day are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Based on how many students sign up for move-in times on each day, shifts may end earlier than 3:30 p.m. Volunteers who are not able to stay for the full shift need to notify Madelin Willis (willmade@iupui.edu) beforehand.
Each volunteer will be provided a wristband for each day of move-in. While assisting parents and students, all volunteers should be wearing the wristbands.
We will have water and individually packaged snacks available for Move Crew volunteers. Volunteers will be assigned a 30-minute break during their shift where they can relax and eat in the Move Crew break room at the facility they are volunteering.
In order to help promote all of the groups/organizations that volunteer for Move Crew we will be providing a couple of new opportunities for getting information to residents. Groups/organizations who have at least 5 members volunteering for Move Crew can participate in the following promotional opportunities.
