Welcome Wagon 2012
Welcome to Boston College...Class of 2016!

The Program
The Boston College Welcome Wagon is an undergraduate volunteer program staffed by a dedicated group of BC students who are ready and eager to ensure that every incoming freshman has a positive move-in experience. Welcome Wagon recruits well over 400 volunteers each year and hires approximately 15 leaders.
Move-in days can be a stressful time for all involved. Welcome Wagon is designed to ease everyone’s frustrations and keep the day running smoothly. This enthusiastic group prepares for campus opening throughout the summer to welcome the Class of 2016 to campus!
Welcome Wagon Volunteers
This year, Welcome Wagon will boast well over 400 volunteers. Welcome Wagon volunteers physically move items into dorms and greet students with immediate representation of the quality of character exhibited by Boston College undergraduates. Volunteers should be accessible to answer any questions or concerns that may arise throughout the day. All volunteers will be able to move into their Fall placements early.
Welcome Wagon Leaders
Each year, Welcome Wagon hires a dedicated group of team leaders, typically 15, who coordinate and oversee the move-in process. Leaders’ responsibilities include organizing and motivating the volunteers, being an active participant in Move-in Day activities, and fostering positive relationships among team members. Team leaders also enjoy an even earlier move-in date and a chance to exhibit great leadership in an on campus setting.
Leader applicants will be contacted to set up a phone interview by mid-July. All final decisions will be made by the end of July.
