More than 1,000 students, staff, and community members applied for official volunteer positions, with hundreds more raising their hands to help in areas that don’t require security clearance. On debate day, you’ll see them ushering, directing traffic, staffing Ask Me! booths, and serving as production assistants and interns for the thousands of media representatives and Commission on Presidential Debates staff who will be on campus.
