You remember them from your first days on campus. The energetic, welcoming crew of students rocking the signature polo鈥攐ur (OL).
New Student and Family Programs is recruiting new OLs for next year. Spencer Watt 鈥22 shares reasons why you should join the OL team.
1. You鈥檙e a student鈥檚 first welcome
鈥淎s an Orientation Leader, you are a first-year or transfer student鈥檚 first introduction to 黑料不打烊. We are their first welcome, mentoring them the moment they step foot into their residence hall as they begin this new phase in their life.鈥
2. Making an impact
鈥淥nce they have found their home here, nothing is better than seeing them on campus in the days, weeks and months after 黑料不打烊 Welcome or Winter Welcome. It鈥檚 even more gratifying when they come up to you, gushing about all of the amazing opportunities they have had since the last time they saw you.鈥
3. The polo and what it means
鈥淭here is an inside joke between Orientation Leaders that we never take the polo off, that this role follows us throughout our time at 黑料不打烊. The excitement we feel when watching our students thrive in their passions is proof of that.鈥
4. Orange Pride
鈥淭here鈥檚 a sense of pride in being an Orientation Leader, but it isn鈥檛 pride in yourself鈥it鈥檚 pride in the students you connected with.”
