The Office of First Year Experience encourages returning undergraduate students to apply to be an Orientation Aide (OA) for the Fall 2015 New Student Orientation program. This influential role impacts not only the successful W&M transition of new students and their families, but also promotes personal and professional student leadership growth through activities involving teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking, and time management. The successful candidate has a desire to be a positive role model, a willingness and interest in helping others, and possesses strong communication skills with the ability to make logical, time-sensitive decisions with integrity. OAs must have a 2.5 cumulative GPA and be in good honor/conduct standing during the time of application, hiring, and service. The 2015 Orientation Aide application is due on Wednesday, February 4th.
