Did you know?
It is not necessary to be a current faculty or staff member at the University of Kentucky to join the fun and volunteer to work at Big Blue Move-In this August. UK's alumni and community members are some of the most passionate people we know. The love for our university and commitment made by our volunteers is what makes Big Blue Nation unique. We think you would be an ideal Big Blue Move-In volunteer.
Move-in is a huge transition in the lives of our first-time, returning students and their families. Students from every Kentucky county, all 50 states and many countries will be joining the Big Blue Nation this fall. Many of them are arriving on campus for the very first time and may know little about Lexington and the beautiful Bluegrass region we call home. We encourage alumni to volunteer during the Big Blue Move-In.
Join us and share your success stories and favorite UK memories with the Class of 2029. Community volunteers will direct the newest Wildcats and their families toward the best places to eat and the must-do local activities. Your knowledge of the area and affection for the university are assets during move-in and can help alleviate any anxieties our incoming students might be feeling.
In addition to having the chance to welcome new students, volunteers will also get a free t-shirt and meal card for their time!
As a member of the Wildcat Welcome Team, your primary task will be offering a friendly face to students and their families as they arrive on campus. Your job is to smile, provide warm greetings and offer directions to anyone who appears lost or uncertain. Shifts will be available for the following positions:
