Desperate need: VOLUNTEERS

The office would like to take some time to thank those who have volunteered in the past and to those who volunteer currently to ensure our events all run smooth.

 

At this time we are in desperate need for people willing to volunteer.

 

We need those interested in volunteering to be a royalty judge (Royalty Interviews on August 13th starting at 1pm) and we are in desperate need for help at Skillathon August 17th.

Skillathon we are in need of individuals who would be able to stay all day or the afternoon shift (12-4pm). If you or anyone you know is interested in helping us out please call the office or email whisman.30@osu.edu.
