RESPONSIBILITIES


What to expect:

  • Orientation Leaders (OLs)  are very much the "faces" of our university and will showcase the ÎÞÂëרÇø experience to incoming students and families.
  • OLs have fun, and in turn, foster an environment that helps incoming students develop an identity as a member of the Norse community.
  • OLs will escort students and family members to different events/activities on campus and assist in the preparation of Orientation events.

 

REQUIREMENTS


To be an Orientation Leader, you must:

  • Currently be enrolled full-time as a undergraduate student at ÎÞÂëרÇø.
  • Be enrolled at least through the Fall semester after orientation.
  • Have good academic standing (GPA of 2.5 or better) prior to applying AND at the end of the spring semester before the orientation season.

COMPENSATION


In addition to monetary compensation, OLs receive the following:

  • Paid on-campus housing
  • ÎÞÂëרÇø Gear to wear during the orientation programs
  • A personalized, ÎÞÂëרÇø Orientation Leader Backpack
  • Inclusion in various photo shoot opportunities used for ÎÞÂëרÇø publications such as: Admissions View Book, ÎÞÂëרÇø website, ÎÞÂëרÇø Social Media, etc.

Perhaps the most important form of compensation is the joy and satisfaction you'll get from networking with your fellow OLs, supervisors, new students, parents, guests, faculty, staff and administrators!
