CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - WELCOME NEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CAMPUSES THIS FALL

Our fall return to campuses is just around the corner. This year we will be welcoming more new community members than ever before, including more than 40% of students and the staff and faculty who were hired during the pandemic. We want to do everything we can to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our new community members.

This fall, we have expanded the ASK ME Ambassador program to welcome and support new students as well as new faculty and staff.

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

We are looking for volunteers to greet new community members, provide directions and answer questions. Volunteers:

• Will receive an ASK ME t-shirt and button
• Can sign up for designated times and locations
• Will receive a package of resources

Traditionally, the Ask Me Program runs at the start of every term as a way to assist students during their first week of classes. This year, we are expanding the Ask Me program to all three campuses for two weeks, and we will be helping to orient the SFU community (students, staff, and faculty alike) onto the campus environment!

SFU community members are asked to participate by wearing a red Ask Me button and/or Ask Me t-shirt, as well as signing up to participate in a volunteer shift(s) from September 7 to 17. The goal is to provide a positive experience for the SFU community and assist students, staff, and faculty by answering questions and/or providing directions.

You can participate in the Ask Me Program in the following ways:

1. Wear the ASK ME t-shirt and button: If you already have a red Ask Me button, please wear it, and if you need a button, please let us know. Please also let us know your t-shirt size below.

2. Sign-up for a volunteer shift at the Burnaby, Surrey, or Vancouver campuses: Select a date and time to help students find their way around campus and answer questions. You will be scheduled based on what you select below, so if you can only commit for one shift in total, please just select that one.

Note: This websurvey previously included volunteer sign-up for Welcome Day and Residence Move-In Day. If you have questions or concerns regarding those volunteer opportunities, or any general comments and questions, please email Carmen Ho at orientation@sfu.ca.
