Orientation Leaders (OLs)
To
help implement DePaul’s orientation programs, the Office of New Student and
Family Engagement selects 36 dynamic and mature undergraduate students to serve
as Orientation Leaders (OLs). Orientation Leaders play a critical role in
implementing orientation during the summer as well as throughout the 2018-19
school year, and are a valuable resource to incoming students and their family
members during the transition to college life at DePaul. Orientation for
first-year students (Premiere DePaul) occurs on various dates between June 21- August
30, 2018. Orientation for transfer students (Transition DePaul) occurs between
June 20-September 4, 2018, as well as throughout the school year before the
start of each quarter. Upon successful completion of summer employment,
Orientation Leaders will have the option to remain on the orientation team and
work Transition DePaul programs throughout the year. We will be hiring candidates into two different types of
Orientation Leader positions: Live-in
Orientation Leader and Live-out
Orientation Leader. Both Live-in and Live-out Orientation Leaders will
be working with Premiere and Transition DePaul programs, welcoming and supporting
both freshmen and transfer students.
