Becoming an Orientation Leader may seem like a small way to get involved on campus and meet new people. But truly, it is much more than that if you allow it to be. 

Being an OL means gaining leadership skills and perspective unique to the position. By going through OL training and orientation experiences, you can learn about what it means to be a leader, to meet important people on campus, and to intentionally create the best experience for new students. 

You've found your Home on the Hill. This is your opportunity to help others do the same.

It's so much more than a piece of cloth with some embroidery. It's hard to explain, but something magical happens when you put it on for the first time. Suddenly, you're embodying the position you worked for, and it feels so natural. When you wear it on duty, it's almost like having a superpower. All of a sudden, you're a beacon of resources and answers for students and their people, and because of the work that you do, they put their trust in you.

It's impossible to over-stress this point: No matter where you're from, who you date, how you identify, disability, how you look - you have a place here. Seriously. All that matters is that we share a love and dedication for our students and treat them, and one another, accordingly. Our team thrives on acceptance. We don't do phobia or isms here.
