Summer Orientation 2011

Summer orientation sessions begin in June and we are looking for parent/family volunteers to assist new parent/family members this summer! The summer orientation dates are:

• June 27 - 28
• June 30 - July 1
• July 12 - 13
• July 15-16 (Transfers attend on Saturday)
• August 15-16

Parent/family volunteers are invited to be greeters, sit on a parent/family panel and share your personal experiences, be "e-mail pals" with new parents & family members, and/or to write for this newsletter. More information for each volunteer aspect is listed below.

• Greeters: Assist with Parent/Family check in. Greet new families, answer questions, and make them feel at home on campus.
• Panel Members: During the Parent/Family Transition program we will have a panel of parents to discuss personal experiences, answer questions, and offer advice to new parents & families.
• E-mail Pal: We understand that not everyone can come to campus but we would still love your participation. You would be paired up with a new parent/family member via e-mail. A simple introduction of yourself, family, and IIT experience is all you need to share and open a dialogue with someone new.
• Newsletter authors: Do you have information that you want to share with new and current parents? Submit an article for the IIT Parent Newsletter and share your thoughts.

 
On campus, overnight accommodations are available upon request on a limited basis for volunteers. All volunteers will receive lunch and dinner on Day 1 and Breakfast on Day 2 (if applicable).

Please contact Ryan Miller (rmille17@iit.edu) to volunteer and with any questions. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration.
