Slope Day, slated for May 6, needs volunteers to provide support and care for their fellow Cornellians.

The task of volunteers is not to police Libe Slope, but to help ensure that the last day of classes is safe and enjoyable.

Volunteers may select from among a variety of duties and two shift lengths. Volunteers are needed for four-hour shifts (so-called level 2 volunteers) and to a lesser extent, for two-hour shifts (level 1 volunteers).
