#2 Student Organization in need of Fall Welcome volunteers!


Health and Counseling Student Action Committee, the student health advisory group that works closely with administration to implement pertinent health programming and policy, is in need of lots of volunteers for Fall Welcome. Each year we promote meningitis prevention and offer on-site vaccination through Campus Health Services. You'll get to meet a lot of new students and show them Sun Devil hospitality as they move into their new home for the next four years. The work primarily entails talking with incoming freshman and their parents about the benefits of the meningitis vaccine as they go through the residence hall check-in process. If you are not aware, the disease is life threatening, and those living in close proximity to many others, as in college dorms, are at increased risk. All the information that you need in order to volunteer effectively will be provided.



Available shifts:

Monday, August 17 (4-8 Shifts)- 1 Table at Barrett Honors College Dorms

7 AM - 9 AM 9 AM - 11 AM 11 AM - 1 PM 1 PM - 3 PM
