Each year, the Office of Orientation and New Student Programs will select a group of mature and dedicated undergraduate leaders to assist with implementing Orientation programs during the summer and fall. Orientation Leaders serve as guides for new students, who are making the transition from their previous environment to the diverse academic, intellectual and social culture of the University.

Orientation Leaders are expected to possess a specific body of knowledge about the University acquired through experience and training, and they sincerely must be interested and skillful in sharing this information with Orientation participants. Selection to the 32-member team of Orientation Leaders is a unique honor and a rewarding opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Orientation Leader selections take place in spring.
