About

Help welcome the newest class of Bulldogs as part of the Move-In Crew. Sign up for one or multiple shifts. This is your chance to bring the energy, ease the stress, and create a warm first impression for first-years and their families as they settle into campus life.

Stay for one shift or sign up for multiple. You are welcome to come and go as your schedule allows. You can help with morning set-up, curbside check-in, and unloading cars and moving items. Alongside those tasks, all volunteers will help share that signature Drake spirit.

Let’s give our new students the warmest welcome yet!
