In-Person Volunteer Opportunity Westminster Welcome Saturday, Aug. 23, 2024, 10-11:15 a.m., Main Street Westminster

On the Saturday morning before classes begin, we’ll be kicking off a recent McDaniel tradition — and we want alumni to be part of it! Around 500 incoming students will walk from campus to the Westminster Public Library, where they’ll hear a warm welcome from President Jasken and Mayor Becker before heading off to explore historic Main Street.

As an alum, you can help make their first McDaniel memories unforgettable. We’re inviting alumni to become a featured stop on an interactive digital scavenger hunt hosted through First-Year Experience & Transition Programs (freshman orientation). It’s simple and fun: stroll Main Street in your favorite McDaniel or WMC gear, and students must find you and snap a selfie to earn points! It’s a great way to share your college pride, connect with the next generation, and enjoy a lively morning downtown.
