Our experiences: • Anne and Miriam: Wegot 3 emailsfrom Campus LMU accordingtothe Summer Party: - 17.11.08: „Das Uni-Sommerfest sucht noch Leute, die Zeit und Lust haben, das nächste Fest im Juli 2009 mit zu veranstalten. Das Uni-Sommerfest ist die einzige fakultätsübergreifende Studentenparty an der LMU und wird von Studierenden aus den unterschiedlichsten Fachrichtungen organisiert.“ - 10.06.09: „Als nicht-kommerzielles Fest von Studierenden, für Studierende ist das LMU- Sommerfest auf eine große Zahl ehrenamtlicher Helfer angewiesen. Noch sind wir nicht genug!“ - 01.07.09: „Nur noch zwei Tage, dann ist es so weit. Am Freitag, den 3. Juli, findet das größte Fest des Jahres an der LMU, das Uni-Sommerfest, statt.“ • Julian: Members ofthe „Fachschaft“ cameintooneofhisuniversitycoursesandaskedforvolunteers.

  10. These volunteer groups… … are informal organizations because the people decided to participate because of a collective interest (for example music). But there is also a form of reward for the volunteers which includes drink and food vouchers.
