  • Fall Opening Faculty/Staff Support Needed

    Faculty and Staff Fall Opening Sign Up is Live!

    Fall Opening is an opportunity for us to showcase to our new and returning students and their families the vibrant and diverse community that makes up UConn. Many of our staff work tirelessly all year to plan for a smooth, efficient, and welcoming move-in process, and your time and energy to support the success of the weekend is greatly appreciated. Building a sense of community and belonging among our new and returning students is essential to their success.

    Leaders in Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Enrollment Management, and other areas are seeking both required and voluntary participation during Fall Opening, beginning as soon as August 18, for early arrivals, through the busy period of move-in between Thursday, August 24 – Sunday, August 27.

    Assignments involve greeting students with a welcoming smile, providing directions at parking lots or information tents, and otherwise spreading the goodwill and Husky spirit that we know makes our community special.

    Please sign up using the link below.  There will be informational materials provided and a scheduled opportunity to meet Residential Life staff on site the week of August 21 for those working in Fall Opening check in locations.
