Volunteers Needed for Move-In Day

It’s almost time once again to welcome new students and their families to our Montevallo community. As you know, moving away to college is an exciting, and at times overwhelming, milestone in the lives of our students and their loved ones. Part of the UM tradition is for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community to join together to help make this process less overwhelming by assisting our new students as they move into the residence halls. The students and their families truly appreciate the extra help. Please consider joining in to offer a warm Montevallo welcome to the students moving into our community.

There are many ways you can assist us in extending a hearty welcome. In addition to helping students carry belongings to their rooms, volunteers are needed to hand out water, hold doors, provide direction and answer general questions, among other tasks.

New students will move in Friday, Aug. 23, from 8 a.m. until noon. Volunteer shifts are available from 7:45 to 10 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. to noon. However, whatever amount of time you can donate is appreciated. To sign up, contact the Housing and Residence Life Office at 205-665-6235 or email Stephanie Naish by Aug. 21. All volunteers will receive a free T-shirt to wear the day of move-in.
