The Office of Enrollment Management is expecting record attendance at Accepted Students Day on April 11 and April 26, and UB faculty and staff are needed to help give accepted students and their families a true feeling for the UB campus and community.

“Accepted Students Day is one of our most important recruitment and enrollment initiatives of the year,” says Christopher Connor, vice provost for enrollment management. “As students finalize their college choice ahead of the May 1 enrollment and tuition deposit deadline, these events often play a pivotal role in their decision.

“The personal connections students make with faculty, staff and campus partners leave a lasting impression and directly influence enrollment outcomes,” Connor says. “Your engagement truly matters.”

Volunteers are needed to help with:

• Wayfinding: Assisting guests in navigating campus and locating buildings, sessions and key experiences.
• Hospitality: Greeting students and families, engaging with guests and helping create a welcoming atmosphere.
• Event support: Assisting with event space setup and takedown.

Volunteers will attend a training session and open forum prior to the events. Assignments will be made based on availability, and detailed materials will be provided.

Those interested in volunteering should email Emilios Papas by March 3, noting the timeframe they are available. Accepted Student Day runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
