The University of Iowa’s RAGBRAI Working Group is seeking volunteers to welcome RAGBRAI riders and campus guests on Friday, July 27.

Volunteers are needed to staff Ask Me! booths across campus, where they will visit with riders and guests, and provide way-finding assistance and information about campus open houses.

Volunteer shifts are two hours each and will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Booths will be placed at the Pentacrest, T. Anne Cleary Walkway, Hancher Auditorium, Kinnick Stadium, Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa Memorial Union, Main Library, Voxman Music Building, Field House, and Visual Arts Building

Volunteers will receive a UI T-shirt and will be asked to attend one of two orientation sessions:
