The Office of First-Year Programs is thrilled to announce the 10th anniversary of Clash of the Colleges, and this year’s event promises to be bigger than ever. It is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help make this milestone celebration a success.

As a volunteer, you’ll not only play a key role in one of WSU’s biggest campus traditions, but you’ll also receive a special Clash of the Colleges T-shirt and bandanna. Plus, you’ll be entered into a raffle with exciting prizes up for grabs.

This is an opportunity to connect with colleagues, engage with the campus community and be a part of a memorable event. If you’re interested in volunteering, complete the sign-up sheet by 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 2.

Wichita State Department of Physical Therapy is hosting iCanBike and iCanSwim camps the week of July 29-Aug. 2, with an orientation the afternoon of July 28.

Join daily that week during a 60-90 min session to help an individual with a disability learn to swim or ride a bicycle. Ability to swim or ride a bike is absolutely not required but volunteering for iCanBike includes jogging alongside a new bike rider.

iCanBike will be held in the Aetna gym at Charles Koch Arena and iCanSwim will be held in the Heskett Center.

5A state baseball and softball will be held on Wichita State’s campus May 23-24 and state track May 24-25. Last year, these activities brought more than 30,000 people to campus. The university is asking for help from the campus community to drive golf carts and staff tents during these events.

Tents will be set up in various locations around campus May 24 and 25. Individuals staffing tents will welcome people to campus, offer water, hand out brochures and promotional items and answer questions visitors may have.

Golf cart rides will be offered May 24 and 25. Drivers will provide visitors rides to their destinations on campus.

If you are interested in working these events, sign up online. There are three tabs at the bottom of the sheet: one to sign up as a tent worker, one to sign up as a golf cart driver and one to include your sign up information. Volunteers signed up by May 13 will receive a T-shirt to be worn during the events. Please indicate your preferred T-shirt size and include your email address on the third tab of the sign up. Detailed information will be sent the week of May 20 to those signed up to help.

These events would not be successful without the support of our Shocker family, and we sincerely appreciate your help in creating a welcoming campus for our guests.
