Purdue faculty, staff, graduate student staff and retirees are welcome to register as volunteers for Spring Fling, the annual employee appreciation event set for 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. May 21 at and around Memorial Mall.

Those interested in volunteering can select from a variety of shifts and responsibilities, including setting up and restocking food and beverage stations; directing attendees at the information booth; staffing check-in, checkout and checkpoint spots for the 3-mile fitness walk; and emptying trash and recycling containers.

Available time slots and positions are listed on the online volunteer registration form, which will close at 5 p.m. April 9. Those who sign up to volunteer will receive a Spring Fling T-shirt and three additional entry tickets for the door prize drawing.

More information about this year’s event, including activities that require registration, will be available in upcoming issues of Purdue Today and on the Spring Fling website.
