Volunteers needed to support relocated students

Friday, January 17, 2025

Calling retirees - We need your help! 

"I’m reaching out to ask for your help," wrote Associate Provost, Students Chris Read in an email to employees circulated last night. "On Monday evening, we worked with approximately 1,400 students to temporarily relocate them from most UW Place residence buildings due to a lack of heat and hot water."

"It is expected that these students will remain in their temporary accommodations through the weekend, and as such, we’re looking for volunteers to help the Campus Housing team continue to support them," Read's memo continues. "If you are able to volunteer for a shift over the next few days, please click to learn more about the roles that need to be filled and to share your availability with the scheduling team."

"Thank you to everyone who has been working hard to resolve this issue and support the students who have been affected," Read's memo concludes.
