Volunteer for Cocky's Call and First Night Carolina, Aug. 21

Celebrate with incoming students as they kick off their first semester with Cocky's Call and First Night Carolina. During Cocky's Call, students will gather on the Horseshoe for their first "Gamecock" chants. Then, they'll move to neighboring Greene Street for the First Night Carolina block party, complete with food trucks, games, activities and fireworks. Sign up online to help your Student Life colleagues and welcome the Class of 2023. It's gonna be a blast! 🎆
