Roles
The Office of Residence Life and Towering Traditions New Student Orientation have created a variety of opportunities for our Opening Day volunteers to serve. We need plenty of volunteers to move our new students into the residence halls while giving them a warm smile and a "Welcome to Belmont!” We understand, however, that not everybody wants to or can move boxes.

If you need any special accommodations or considerations, please let us know. We need volunteers to help greet new families both inside residence halls and outside at our entry points. There are even opportunities to simply walk around answering questions of students and families or monitoring the water stations.

Any help you can give on this important day will go a long way!

If you need any further information, please contact Kristine Neeley, director of new student & parent programs, at kristine.neeley@belmont.edu or 615-460-8532.
