We invite you to volunteer at fall orientation’s Class Schedule Walk-Though. In addition to being a great service opportunity, it’s also a great way to promote your programs/student organizations. New students bring their schedules to Brigham Square on the Saturday morning before classes start. We match them up with volunteers to physically walk with them through their schedules—find their classrooms, share ideas on where help labs and study areas are, give good advice, etc. We will do our best to match students with volunteers in similar fields of interest to make good connections. Volunteer now!
