The Staff Senate Welcome Committee is recruiting employee volunteers for the Boxer Buddy program. Any employee who has worked at the university for at least a year is eligible to serve. The Welcome Committee has identified a specific need for bilingual Boxer Buddy volunteers to help welcome new employees whose primary language is Spanish.
The Boxer Alerts System sends emails and text messages when there's any kind of emergency on our campuses, or an unplanned campus closure (e.g. inclement weather).
Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team!

Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.
