VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
For the third year in a row, Clemson MBA is the Presenting Sponsor for Downtown Alive, the weekly free music event held Thursday nights on Main Street in front of the Hyatt. Each Thursday from 5:30 – 8:30 PM we have a tent set up inside the event where we hand out promotional items and talk to the guests about the MBA program. The event begins March 20th and will run every week through August 28th.

We are looking for volunteers to staff the booth during the 2014 season. It is more fun if you work in teams of two. The tent and table are already set up and all you have to do is bring the wheeled cart full of brochures and koozies and set them up on the table, then be available to hand them out/answer questions if needed. You will be provided with free drink tickets for the evening and everything you need to set up the display.

If you are interested in volunteering for one or several evenings, please email Darlene Fuhst at dfuhst at clemson.edu<mailto:dfuhst at clemson.edu> with available dates.
