Orientation

Become an Orientation Leader

Who are Orientation Leaders?

UIW Orientation Leaders (OL) assume many responsibilities including helping in the preparation of all Orientation sessions, providing information to future students and family members through small and large group settings and, most importantly, promoting UIW in a fun and comfortable atmosphere.

OLs are compensated for all work during training, work weeks and all Orientation sessions. Meals during all orientation sessions will be provided as well.
To apply to become a 2012 Orientation Leader, please print and fill out our application provided below, or stop by the First Year Engagement Office.

OLs must meet the following requirements:

• An OL must support the goals of the University and the Student Success department.
• An OL must have completed twelve (12) hours at UIW by December 2011 and must meet academic standards at the time of application, at the end of the Spring 2012 semester. No one may hold an OL position while on academic probation or without providing a copy of their Fall 2012 schedule.

• An OL may have an outside job as long as it does not interfere with the fulfillment of the requirements of the OL position, if an OL has another job, Orientation should take precedence (please talk with the coordinator if this is the case).
• An OL must attend and complete OL Training and work all Orientation sessions (if interference occurs then you must speak with the coordinator immediately), including the morning and afternoon set up/tear down and staff meeting for each session at the beginning and end of the day.
