Ready to Welcome New Students? Volunteer with The Eagle Experience!
There are several opportunities for you to help welcome the newest members of Eagle Nation to our campuses this fall during The Eagle Experience events Aug. 6-12. Volunteering for these events will provide a chance to engage with our new students, helping them feel part of our community and valued by our faculty and staff. This initiative is truly a campus-wide effort where you can impact the transition for new students; your involvement is critical.
Read below and click on each individual event to sign up. You can sign up for multiple events and shifts.
First-year students will leave New Student Convocation for the President's Picnic, where they will find food, fellowship and campus connections. Volunteers will help organize and mingle with students.
- Armstrong: Sunday, Aug. 8 (5:45-8:30 p.m.) - Burnett Lawn

The Southern Express will transport students to Walmart (Statesboro) and Target (Armstrong) from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 9. Volunteers will ride the shuttles to engage with and answer questions for students.
Celebrate the start of the semester with our new and continuing students and community! We need many volunteers to help across three campuses on Tuesday, Aug. 10, the evening prior to classes beginning.
