Greeters Program

Welcome New Hoos

The Greeters program welcomes the incoming first-year class each year as they arrive on Grounds.

Greeters volunteers are responsible for helping students move into their on-Grounds housing during move-in days each August. This involves transporting boxes, fans, mini-fridges, luggage, and whatever else students may bring with them, generally being available, welcoming, friendly, and ready to assist families as they move their students into their new homes.

Greeters is a unique program in that volunteers are often the first friendly faces students see when they step on Grounds in August as first-years. In addition to helping students move in, volunteers have the opportunity to engage with new students, share their experiences, and help incoming Hoos envision their lives at UVA. The role of a Greeter is incredibly important and immensely rewarding.

 

Be a Greeter!

As if greeting new students at fall move-in wasn't rewarding enough, students who volunteer to be a Greeter have the option to move in early (if they live on Grounds) and receive a free t-shirt!

Fill out the form below to sign up to be a Greeter on Tuesday, August 19; Thursday, August 21; or Friday, August 22. If you're living in on-Grounds housing for Fall 2025, you'll have the option to move-in early on the day before your shift.

The deadline to sign up is Friday, August 15 at 11:59 p.m.

If you have any questions, please email Brooke Vosteen.
