Volunteers used dollies, rest station to make day easier
Jeremy Clarkson Kansan Staff Writer
Students who moved into Oliver Hall Sunday morning were met with a warm welcome by volunteers from United Parcel Service. About 25 volunteers from UPS came to Oliver to help students move into their rooms.
UPS came equipped with dolies and set up a rest station with music, water, Coke and fruit for everyone helping with move-in day.
Prizes were also given away to students, and UPS provided information on job opportunities.
Gordon Everett, Human Resource Recruiter for UPS, said the company wanted to make the day easier for students.
"Our main objective is to help students move into the residence halls," Everett said. "On top of that, if they would like information on the jobs we provide, they can get it."
Everett said the volunteer workers were a big help for families moving in and that they wanted to contribute to the college experience.
Lindsey Amodeo, Des Moines,
Iowa, freshman, said the UPSvolunteers were helpful.
"It's only taken us about 45 minutes, and we got all my stuff up already." Amodeo said.
Amodeo said she would have been stuck if the UPS workers hadn't been around to help her
load her belongings on a dolly.
"They brought lots of volunteers to help people work," she said. Reception has been well and people seem happy to have them here."
Students weren't the only people who were thankful for the UPS help with move-in day. Christine Thoorsell, Oliver Hall complex director, said the volunteers worked hard for the students.
Thoorsell said with so many people moving in today, the volunteers helped keep traffic in the building flowing.
Brian Wise, employment supervisor for UPS, said he wanted to provide job opportunities to students.
"One of the main reasons why we do this is to let students know of some jobs we have." Wise said.
