Volunteer for Ask Me and give new students a warm welcome to U荔枝视频
Starting university can feel overwhelming, but a welcoming face can make all the difference. That鈥檚 where the comes in.
Each September, faculty, staff and student volunteers proudly wear bright red 鈥淎sk Me鈥 buttons, making them easy to spot for new students navigating campus. From finding classrooms to connecting with academic services, volunteers provide answers, guidance and reassurance.
All members of the U荔枝视频 community have the chance to make a student's first month special and welcoming. By volunteering, you鈥檒l help ease the transition for thousands of new students, ensuring they feel supported from their first day.
How you can get involved
: Do you have free time between Sept. 2-4? Greeters are stationed at critical campus areas to provide in-the-moment help during the busiest days of the academic year.
Be an Ask Me volunteer: All you have to do is wear an Ask Me button or put up an Ask Me poster so students know where they can go for help throughout September. By making yourself easy to spot, students can come to you for directions, services and campus life questions.
Ask Me is an important part of U荔枝视频鈥檚 Orientation programming (Aug. 28鈥29, 2025), which welcomes new students to campus each fall. Orientation helps students connect with peers, learn about resources, and feel part of a supportive campus community from day one.
