Current Students
You’re now a part of the Northern Colorado community. Now that you live on campus, we hope that you’ll stay on campus. The longer you live in the residence halls, the greater your opportunities for academic success and making your goal of graduating with a Northern Colorado degree.
Welcome Crew Volunteers Needed
Yes, it is still springtime, but we are already looking forward to next fall! In order for Hall Move-In to continue to be as successful as it has been, we’ll need some energetic, helpful, friendly people who are serious about helping incoming new students AND their returning fellow students! In other words...WE NEED SOME Crew Volunteers!
What’s a crew volunteer you ask? A CREW Volunteer is a UNC student, faculty member or alumni who volunteers to help move new students into the residence halls. Crew Volunteers greet students and parents, help unload cars, answer questions, and generally provide a helping hand. Your help is needed!
We cannot emphasize enough the value of having you be a part of this effort. Many positive comments are received each year about how smooth hall move-in went for them and that is a direct result of the assistance our volunteers provide. Students and parents continually express how impressed and appreciative they are to have members of the UNC student body and faculty/staff greeting them as they arrive on campus.
Our student Crew volunteers can also choose to continue to offer assistance to new students through out the weekend by helping hall staff facilitate activities prior to classes starting, giving tours, showing students how to buy their books, and taking new students to Bear Welcome programs. They work with the staff and hall/floor governments to ensure a smooth transition for new students, and helping build a healthy campus community. For these opportunities you will be directed to work with your RA or Hall Director.
To volunteer you will commit to:
- Attend a one-hour training session on Wednesday, August 20th @ 5pm in the Harrison Den
- At least one ½ day of move-in help (4 hours)
If you would like to volunteer or need more information, please contact Nate Cole, Assistant Director of Residence Life, at nate.cole@unco.edu.
Residence Hall Association Students Earn Awards
UNC's Residence Hall Association students recently received two awards at the Intermountain Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls regional conference at the University of Wyoming. Daniel Sanchez, a senior Sociology major, was named National Residence Hall Honorary Member of the Year and a collaborative project among residence hall students led by Sara Valencich took top honors. The group's project for "Commitment to Diversity" is a 30-page document detailing UNC's efforts to promote diversity and social justice. The students will represent the region at the National Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls, May 16-18 at Oklahoma State University, where they will be eligible for national awards.
