Calling all UNC Greensboro faculty and staff with a desire to help new students! You have the opportunity to serve as a Spartan SPEAR during the first week of classes.

As in past years, the Spartan SPEARS volunteer program will assist new students with navigating campus on the first two days of classes. Volunteers in lime green t-shirts with campus maps will be strategically positioned around campus to give new students directions and answer questions. We are especially excited to offer the Spartan SPEARS program this January for our incoming students to welcome them to campus.

Faculty and staff interested in volunteering for a one-hour shift can express interest by completing this google form.

Volunteers will be provided everything they need to be a rawkstar Spartan SPEAR, including basic training instructions, the famous lime green t-shirt, and a clipboard with a campus map.
