Orientation Leaders (OLs)
To help implement DePaul’s orientation programs, the Office
of New Student and Family Engagement selects 30 dynamic and mature
undergraduate students to serve as Orientation Leaders (OLs) each year.
Orientation Leaders play a critical role in implementing orientation during the
summer as well as throughout the 2019-20 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) and
orientation for transfer students (Transition DePaul) occur on various dates
throughout the summer, spanning the following dates: June 26-September 9, 2019.
Transition DePaul orientations also take place during 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.
