Orientation Leader Program

imageThe Orientation Leader is a vital link between the University and new students. This leader is often the first impression new students get of the University, along with the Resident Assistant.

Orientation Leaders serve as a resource to incoming students and their families. They work hard to provide information to new students who will help them settle in, get to know other students, and register for classes. They act as a friendly guide for the first week, welcoming students to campus and serving as familiar faces in the upperclass student population for first-year students.

Orientation Leaders greet new students, provide them with their orientation schedules and information, and answer questions for new students about everything from how to navigate campus to roommate concerns, classes, services on campus, and any anxiety they may be experiencing with the transition to college.

During the summer, Orientation Leaders help acquaint new students with one another as much as with the campus and University services. A select group of Orientation Leaders is chosen to work with the Summer Orientation Program.

Becoming an Orientation Leader requires an application and interview process conducted by a small group of Orientation Leaders chosen from the previous year to be Orientation Advisors. These advisors work with the Office of Student Activities to provide training for the new Orientation Leaders.

The Orientation Leader Program provides a valuable opportunity for students to gain leadership experience while giving back to their community and assisting new students with the transition to college.
