We
need your help during Wildcat Welcome 2006
Please mark your calendars
now and plan to assist students and their parents at any of
the events described below. This is a great opportunity to
welcome students and say through our actions that we really
ARE glad they're here. Although
we will be retired before Wildcat Welcome 2006 takes place,
we hope you and your staff will support the program by
volunteering some time for new and returning students.
As you probably know, Wildcat
Welcome is a program that provides a variety of fun-filled,
free or minimal-cost activities for new and returning
students to welcome them to campus. Now in its ninth years,
Wildcat Welcome is scheduled for August 16-25 this year. We
need volunteers for two major Wildcat Welcome components:
the residence hall move-in (August 16-17), and the "Ask Me"
booths that will be strategically located around campus to
provide directions and assistance to students (August
16-22). If you are willing and able to participate, please
call or email Juliette Moore at 621-8707 or juliette@u.arizona.edu
to request a registration form. If you prefer, you may also
obtain a registration form online at
http://www.union.arizona.edu/welcome/index.php. Feel
free to sign up for more than one event and/or more than one
time block.
Volunteers will receive a
confirmation of their registration during the first week of
August. Volunteer training sessions for all programs listed
above are scheduled for Friday, August 4, 3:30-5:00 pm, and
Tuesday, August 8, 8:30-10:00 am. Feel free to attend
either training session. Both sessions will be held in the
Student Union Kiva, and no advance registration is necessary
for the training. All Wildcat Welcome volunteers will
receive free t-shirts. Move-in participants who have
handcarts available in their offices are asked to bring them
for use during the move-in activities.
We know that first
impressions often are lasting impressions. Wildcat Welcome
allows volunteers the opportunity to let new students and
their parents see that the University of Arizona's
administration, faculty, and staff really DO care about them
and that we're willing to help-even with such practical
realities as settling in. What a great message about life
at the University of Arizona! Last year we had, for the
eighth year in a row, over 200 people volunteer for the
move-in event, and about 200 for the "Ask Me" Program.
Let's exceed those numbers this year!
