Orientation Leader Selection Process

There are three steps to becoming an Orientation Leader...

There are two types of applications, one for first-time Orientation Leaders and one for returning Orientation Leaders so please make sure to click on the link for the correct form. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Monday February 18. No late applications will be accepted.

The application requires that you submit a resume along with the online form. We highly recommend making an appointment with Career Services for them to review your resume. A list of previous employment is not a complete resume; make sure to include your co-curricular involvement as well.

To learn more about the position there will be two Information Sessions available for you to attend. Both sessions will be held in the the Monaco Room (room 242) in the Student Center.

  • Tuesday, February 12 at 5:00 p.m. and
  • Friday, February 15 at Noon

After the Orientation Leader Selection Committee (composed of administrative staff and Orientation Leaders from the Class of 2012)  has reviewed applications, candidates will be notified if they have been selected to move onto the second round by Monday, March 4.

If you are currently studying abroad and would like to apply to be an Orientation Leader, please go ahead and complete the online application above! Please note on your application that you are currently studying abroad. All abroad applicants will be asked to participate in a separate interview process.

2. Group Process Interview

The second portion of the Orientation Leader selection process includes participating in a Group Process Interview. There will be three Group Process Interview time-slots and if you are selected to continue through the process you will be asked to sign up for one most convenient for you.

Returning Orientation Leaders will not be asked to participate in the group process interviews or individual interviews. You will be asked to participate in a separate interview process and you will be contacted with information if selected to continue past the application process.

Candidates selected to continue onto the third round will be contacted on Friday, March 22, 2013.

3. Individual Interview

The third portion of the Orientation Leader selection process includes participating in a interview with one of the members of the Orientation Leader selection committee. Interviews will occur from March 25 through March 29. Sign-ups for interview time-slots will be available at the Information Desk starting Friday, March 22.

All final candidates will be notified on Monday, April 15, 2013.
