Huskies Helping Huskies seeking volunteers

July 15, 2013

helping-huskiesStudent Involvement & Leadership Development is currently looking for staff volunteers to assist with Huskies Helping Huskies (HHH) stations Aug. 26 and 27.

HHH provides an avenue for interacting with students and networking with others from across the university, as well as an opportunity to bask in the excitement of the new academic year. Volunteering for HHH is a great way to get to know the campus, meet others from across the university and most importantly, interact with our students in a unique way.

HHH stations will be set up at the MLK Commons, Wirtz Hall, Graham Hall, just north of Chick Evans Field House, and on the main level of DuSable Hall. HHH staff volunteers will assist students with questions such as where their class is located, where to go for advisement or where the nearest computer lab is located. Each station will have campus maps, a phone book, bus schedules and course information.

One-hour time slots are available every half hour from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Participants are welcome to sign up for a two-hour shift if their schedule allows.

If you are interested in volunteering for Huskies Helping Huskies, please visit http://intranet.restech.niu.edu/inform/inform.php?form=9I5H and select your desired date and time slot as well as your preferred location in the notes section of registration.
