It is nearly time for the new class of UE students to arrive. We want to welcome the new students to the UE campus the best way possible. A big thanks to all the students who volunteered for the Move in Crew - we now have all the help we need for that portion of Move In Day activities.  But if you are faculty or staff, you can still help by being a member of the Meet and Greet Team. This group of volunteers will be needed during three shifts on Saturday, Aug. 20. The role of a greeter is to direct new students and families around campus, especially as they move in to the Residence Halls. This process helps the Move In process run smoothly and is a huge help to our students and their families. If you would like to help please email Geoff Edwards at ge21@evansville.edu and reply as to which time you would like to work. The shifts are:8 a.m.-10 a.m.;10 a.m.-noon; and noon-2 p.m.

Connect for a Cause – the professional speed networking event - is less than two weeks away. Students, you can link your job search and support a local nonprofit organization. Meet employers, make contacts and learn about networking from Bob Jones, president and chief executive officer of Old National Bank.

Connect for a Cause takes place Aug. 4 from 6-8 p.m. in Eykamp 251, Ridgway University Center. Entry requires one canned food item for later donation to the Evansville Christian Life Center. There are door prizes and refreshments.
