Volunteers needed for new student activities
CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Take the time to help create a positive first impression for new Southern Illinois University Carbondale students by volunteering during Saluki Startup.
There are plenty of opportunities for members of the campus community and the community at large to volunteer. Saluki Startup is Aug. 18-21, and the Week of Welcome is Aug. 21-28.
Volunteer options include helping students move into the residence halls, to helping students plan their routes between classes, to assisting with Dawgs Nite Out. Volunteering for these events is fun, and for some volunteers it becomes an annual tradition.
