A benefit of attending a post-secondary campus is volunteering at campus events and getting some experience with visitors, event setup, customer service (you learn that some expectations can be unrealistic but you try to get answers or politely decline some requests), and team work. There will likely be print materials to go along with event duties, so a structured environment helps you to move into duties with ease.
Name-tags help you identify other staff/volunteers, as well help visitors determine that you can assist them! Networking is a distinct possibility, but you are getting time with experienced crew/staff so you can learn new things. If you have interests in certain industries and events are being held at your school for them, inquire through the faculties or departments hosting those events of opportunities to volunteer (you may even find out if there are any temporary jobs for those events). Be keen to read your school email announcement and bulletin boards and follow your curiousity.
Then you have some extra material to add to your resume after the events! Nice touch.
