this new group from getting too lost during our second annual
ASCEND New Student Success Conference

AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Volunteer opportunities still available for the ASCEND conference! Greatest need is the first shift (8:00 to 10:00am) and in the afternoon (12:45 to 3:00 pm).
Faculty, staff, and student volunteers are needed to assist with the following volunteer responsibilities:
* staffing the registration table
* serving as floor guides
* collecting lunch tickets
A variety of shifts are available to fit every schedule (8:00 - 10 a.m., 9:45 - 11 a.m., 10:45 - Noon, 11:45 - 1 p.m., 12:45 - 2 p.m., 1:45 - 3 p.m. and 2:45 - 4 p.m.), and volunteers are encouraged to sign up for more than one hourly slot, if you’re able.In thanks and appreciation, all volunteers will receive a complimentary lunch for their time.

UC Merced is hosting our second annual ASCEND New Student Success Conference on Tuesday, August 21, two days before fall instruction begins. This conference offers all incoming freshman and new transfer students an opportunity to learn about essential academic skills, university expectations, and campus resources. This early contact with faculty, staff, and fellow students creates important groundwork for a successful academic year.
