Volunteers needed for Open Enrollment 2026 Nancy Portner Tue, 04/07/2026 - 12:27

We’re looking for a few staff members to help support staff during upcoming Open Enrollment (OE) sessions.

Volunteers are needed for:

• Translated OE information sessions at the C4C building on April 14 – Volunteers will be in the room during the webinar to help with questions or technical issues. This is also a great opportunity to meet new staff and connect with colleagues across campus.

• OE computer lab sessions in Stadium IB12E (conference room near Access Services and the FM Safety office), April 20–24 – Volunteers will help staff log into MyCUInfo, navigate Open Enrollment, and, when needed, connect with OIT or Employee Services for IdentiKey resets and troubleshooting. No technical skills are required, just a willingness to help folks on the computer.

You can sign up for one or more sessions by adding your name to the volunteer sign‑up form. Any amount of help is greatly appreciated, and your support makes a big difference for our colleagues.
