Please avoid including Kutztown University or a P.O. Box Number in the mailing address; instead, use 425 Baldy Road. To ensure faster delivery, include your full name, room number and department name. If you are responsible for ordering for someone in another department, make sure to include that person’s full name, room number and department name. Incorrect addressing may result in mail or packages being returned to the sender. For package inquiries, send the tracking number to mailservices@kutztown.edu.

PASSHE Summit Volunteer Opportunity

KU is hosting this year's PASSHE Summit Wednesday, Oct. 28 and Thursday, Oct. 29. The theme is "Meeting the Moment Together: Transformation through resilience, access, and innovation." We are seeking volunteers to help make the summit a success and to best serve our attendees. Volunteers will help attendees navigate the campus, get to and from sessions, assist with setup and tear down, facilitate/host zoom or breakout sessions and other related tasks. Shifts will generally be two hours long, though volunteers are welcome to sign up for multiple shifts on the same day, if approved by their supervisor. If interested, please complete the Volunteer Interest Form.
