The Campus Activities Council is forming a new volunteer group called CAC Crew in an effort to attract at least 100 volunteers for Winter Welcome Week in January.
“They will be a group of students that we can pull from to be the volunteers for each event,” CAC chairwoman Valerie Hall said.
Members of the crew will receive exclusive benefits for participating. One perk will be early admittance to certain events.
“We will just invite them to things as the opportunity arises,” said Hall, public relations senior. “Maybe like a dinner one night, or they can participate on our dance marathon team. Small things that happen throughout the year.”
Hall said the incentive for naming the group and giving perks had nothing to do with lack of volunteers.
“We just wanted to do something special for the volunteers,” she said. “We always have plenty of people.”
Another new element of CAC Crew that has changed from the previous volunteer set-up is that only one application is needed to participate in all of the events.
“We used to have to fill out an application for every event, and it became really tedious,” business senior Morgan Ames said. “I would always have to get on the website to check due dates for every application.”
Current applicants and volunteers will be able to serve for the nine events remaining for the 2010-2011 school year, which includes six in the spring and three yearlong events.
“The CAC Crew is an excellent option for students who aren’t quite sure which CAC events they want to be a part of,” CAC adviser Quy Nguyen said.
The first round of applications for CAC Crew are due Friday. The application will still be available later this semester.
“It is a great opportunity to get involved with many of the events that CAC puts on around campus throughout the year,” University College freshman Meghan Gibson said.
