SUMMARY:Alumni Move-In Crew
DESCRIPTION:Remember your first day at Simpson? The excitement\, the nerves\, the car packed to the ceiling\, and of course – the smiling volunteers who made move-in feel a little less overwhelming for you and your family. \nAt Simpson\, first-year students don’t touch a box on move-in day because our community shows up for them. It’s one of the Simpson traditions that makes move-in day feel special. Now it’s your turn to help create that experience for the next generation of Simpson students. \nJoin the Alumni Move-In Crew and help welcome the Class of 2030 to Simpson! Spend a few hours unloading cars\, greeting families\, sharing a friendly smile\, offering directions\, and sharing a warm Simpson welcome. \nWhether you graduated five years ago or fifty\, this is a meaningful way to give back and start a new student’s Simpson story with kindness and connection. There are plenty of things to help with for people of all abilities\, so don’t let any physical limitations prevent you from joining the crew! \nAnd when we finish at 10:00\, we’ll head back to the Advancement office to cool off\, eat some donuts\, and maybe reminisce a little about our own move in days!
