Because Bronco Buddies assist in answering incoming students' questions about college, volunteers are asked to be at least sophomores. Transfer students are welcome to participate as volunteers. So when does it all happen?There will be three move-in dates next fall: Aug. 25 and 26 when Fall Welcome moves in and Aug. 29 when the residence halls officially open for everyone. Bronco Buddies will work a shift each of those three days. Volunteers will move into their residence hall Aug. 24. Bronco Buddy expectationsBronco Buddies are expected to be positive representatives of the WMU community. In addition to assisting students move into the residence halls, Bronco Buddies should be able to answer questions from parents and students, or direct them to someone who can. Bronco Buddies are requested to work each day of move-in (8/25, 26 and 29), and they are required to attend a short training session. Hall chairsIn addition to being a Bronco Buddy, students may choose to volunteer as a hall chair. Hall chairs are the on-site coordinators at each hall. They assist with move-in as a Bronco Buddy but have the additional responsibilities of organizing volunteers, communicating with the Bronco Buddies coordinator, listening to concerns from parents and fellow Bronco Buddies, and providing a point of information for fellow Bronco Buddies. Students interested in the hall chair position should complete the on-line hall chair application. Questions? |
