We Haul tent will open at10:30 AM for volunteers to check-in and will remain open until approximately 5 PM each day.

• DO NOT bring flyers, pamphlets, brochures, etc. to hand out during this time. (This becomes trash!) You are encouraged to wear shirts, hats, etc. to represent your organization.
  
• Residence Hall Lobby’s should only be accessed when you are moving a student into their room. Any refreshment’s or water available in the lobby’s are not for volunteers. This is NOT hand out space.
  
• If you are found hanging out in the front of the residence halls not assisting those moving and/or you are blocking those moving, a University Staff member will ask you to leave.

Please remember, WE HAUL is meant to allow a smooth move in process for all of our on-campus residences. If you are not contributing to that smooth process, you will be asked to leave immediately. Let’s welcome our new and returning students to MTSU as TRUE BLUE!

• Volunteer Fair 

Are you looking for volunteer opportunities? The annual Volunteer Fair is set for Tuesday, September 4, 2012. The Volunteer Fair will take place from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM in the courtyard in front of the Keathley University Center.

The purpose of the Volunteer Fair is to provide information to the MTSU community about volunteer opportunities. Many students arrive on campus not knowing how to become involved in service. The fair provides an opportunity for offices and departments to distribute information about their opportunities.

If your organization provides volunteer opportunities to students and wishes to participate, please email Deonna Bounds or Donald Abels at camporgs@mtsu.edu to reserve your table space for the fair. See you there!
