Remember your first day at Clarkson? Remember how swarms of enthusiastic student volunteers helped you move your belongings into your room? Are you interested in paying it forward by helping with our newest students’ transitions to Clarkson? Consider signing up to be a part of the Move-In Crew!
Sign-ups will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis, and here’s what we’re looking for:
- Hauling (~240 volunteers): Must be able to lift and carry baggage and other heavy items into residence halls for a 4 hour shift.
- Unloading/tagging (~60 volunteers): Must be able to lift baggage and other heavy items out of vehicles and label it for a 4 hour shift.
- Traffic controlling (~30 volunteers): Must be able to stand for a 4 hour shift.
- Answering questions/directing families (~8 volunteers): Must be able to sit and/or stand, and walk around for a 4 hour shift.
Please contact the Office of AccessAbility Services at oas@clarkson.edu to request an accommodation for this event.
Move-In Crew volunteers must have an infinitely friendly attitude, and the ability to smile (and smile, and smile!) even in the face of potentials like sweltering heat, rain, and fatigue.
Accepted crew members will be permitted to move onto campus no earlier than 8 a.m. on Thursday, August 29th – NO EXCEPTIONS. If you need to request an earlier arrival, you may do so through the Residence Life Office and if approved, you will be required to pay a $50/night early arrival fee.
Move In Crew/Day takes place on Friday, August 30th. You must be available for the full day from 8:30a-3:30p as you will be assigned a four hour shift within that time frame. We are unable to accommodate shift requests.
Crew members must read a mandatory training document that will be emailed to you over the summer. Each crew member will receive a free t-shirt and one free meal.
By filling out the form, you are APPLYING to be a Move-In Crew member. You will be notified of your acceptance status via email by the first week of August. Fill out the brief form on Knight Life to sign up! https://knightlife.clarkson.edu/submitter/form/start/264336
