Students in matching gray shirts walk across the UNCG campus.

With the fall semester quickly approaching, we are working on plans for our incoming cohort of new UNCG students, and we couldn’t be more eager to welcome this group to the Spartan Family this fall. As you may know, New Student Transitions & First Year Experience puts on signature events right before the first day of class, including NAV1GATE, to get our new students ready for their first year at the G. This is always a special event full of energy and excitement, and we are in need of volunteers to help make these events a success again!

If you are interested in volunteering at NAV1GATE on Monday, August 19, please complete this volunteer form. All volunteers will receive a t-shirt and other necessary supplies per the assignment. More information about exact times, locations, and responsibilities will be provided as we get closer to the events, but this form will put you on our contact list to sign up for a volunteer shift. We will contact you via email when these details are finalized! 

Thank you for your ongoing support of our new students and for your interest in helping out with these events. We couldn’t do any of this without you!
