Opening Day is Friday, August 21st and Team NIU
Needs your help!
Each
summer the NIU campus community gears up for Opening Day. During Opening Day,
students, student organizations, alumni, faculty members, staff, and community
volunteers demonstrate their Huskie Pride by welcoming NIU students to the
residence halls. With over 3,000 students moving into the residence halls on
Opening Day, Team NIU plays a critical role in making the day a
success. The volunteers that comprise Team NIU offer their time
and team spirit to give new Huskies and their families the best possible first
impression of what makes NIU special. Team NIU volunteers will spend the
day helping incoming students move into their new-home-away-from-home within
the residences halls. This could include unloading vehicles, carrying student
belongings upstairs, and pushing carts. Please keep in mind that some heavy
lifting could be involved.
All
individual volunteers and group/organization volunteers must register to be
allowed at move-in locations on Opening Day. Only those volunteers wearing the
official Team NIU t-shirt will be allowed to assist students with
move-in. We will attempt to accommodate volunteer preferences in hall
assignments; however, final hall placements will be determined by Housing &
Dining based on the need for volunteers at each hall, and placement at a
preferred hall cannot be guaranteed.
Organizations, please be prepared to provide the name, Z-ID,
email address, and shirt size for each volunteer on your team at the time of
registration.

NIU, or for more information, please go to the following updated link:
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from
you!
