The Division of Student Life and the Office of Enrollment Management are putting out a call for volunteers to help with the Welcome to Michigan program, a campuswide collection of events that help new University of Michigan students make a successful transition to the university community.

While volunteers are needed each year, the number needed this year is higher than ever. Hundreds of volunteers from the campus community are needed to help make this program possible.

The 2021 program, co-led by Student Life’s Center for Campus Involvement and OEM’s Office of New Student Programs, has expanded beyond first-year student activities to offer additional events designed specifically for second-year students and new students’ parents and families.

Welcome to Michigan 2021 will offer many events and resources that go beyond the first week of class, serving as U-M’s chance to make these students feel valued and recognized by their campus community.

Student Life and OEM are requesting support from across campus to ensure the program can provide both incoming and returning students an outstanding Michigan experience. Volunteer shifts are available during regular business hours, evenings and weekends.
