UniverCity tent and volunteer set-up forms now on Web (2/12/2002)
MUNCIE, Ind.-Ball State University students and faculty who want to volunteer time for UniverCity 2002: Celebrate Community or reserve a tent for the September festival can now do so on the Web.

Forms can be found under the "volunteers" and "tent sign-up" links at www.bsu.edu/univercity.

Tents must be reserved by May 1.

"For those who have not experienced UniverCity, it is a dynamic time on campus when world-class thinkers and innovators come to Ball State and the Muncie community," said Lorraine Sinclair, UniverCity co-director. "The campus is turned into a tent city where workshops, lectures and other events are held."

Plus, since the celebration will be carried on throughout Muncie, there are also UniverCity volunteer opportunities at the Muncie Children's Museum, Muncie Public Library, Minnetrista Cultural Center and Oakhurst Gardens, Muncie Center for the Arts and other locations, Sinclair said.

This year, colleges have been assigned days in order to carry out events that relate to their fields and the "Celebrate Community" theme.

These assigned days are:

  • Sunday, Sept. 22 - College of Fine Arts
  • Monday, Sept. 23 - College of Business
  • Tuesday, Sept. 24 - College of Architecture and Planning and College of Applied Sciences and Technology
  • Wednesday, Sept. 25 - Teachers College
  • Thursday, Sept. 26 - College of Communication, Information, and Media and the Graduate School
  • Friday, Sept. 27 - College of Sciences and Humanities and Honors College
