Fall 2021 Move-In Volunteer Sign-Up

THANK YOU for offering to help with welcoming our students to campus for the fall 2021 semester! Every volunteer will receive a Cornell Move-In t-shirt and a hat. In addition, for each shift worked, all staff and faculty volunteers will be entered to win one of twenty-five spots for an exclusive lunch and tour of Morrison Dining. Each winner will be able to bring a colleague. 

Students are eligible to receive volunteer hours, and the volunteers from the top three organizations with the highest number of volunteer hours will receive an exclusive pizza party in Morrison Dining Hall.

Those who volunteer for two back-to-back shifts will receive a meal from Cornell Dining, a light breakfast with coffee, and bottled water. We are also providing personal protection bags containing extra masks, disposable gloves, and hand sanitizer.

Volunteer Testing

In order to protect our campus and community, all employees are strongly encouraged to complete a supplemental test prior to volunteering, if you do not already get regularly tested or are unvaccinated. This testing is an essential part of our public health strategy and important to assist us in limiting the spread of COVID-19. Your assistance is vital for this important program.

If you have not previously been cleared to be on campus we will temporarily give you this clearance and allow you to be on campus for the move-in timeframe only.

Please review the testing hours of operations listed here: https://covid.cornell.edu/testing/surveillance/. You can schedule this supplemental test by logging in to your Daily Check portal (https://dailycheck.cornell.edu/) and selecting the “Supplemental Testing Only” button. Symptomatic employees are not permitted to test at a surveillance site and instead should seek a diagnostic test at a Cayuga Health site or through their primary care physician. When registering, be sure to use your netid@cornell.edu email address. Staff who are symptomatic must not attend any volunteering shifts.

Volunteer Sign-up

Any amount of time that you can give to support University move-in will be a huge help.
