Each year, the Orientation program welcomes over 800 new students to Worcester State and the Lancer community. Our Orientation Leaders (OLs) serve as ambassadors and mentors for all incoming students and their families, facilitating workshops, leading groups, and participating in panels to help ease the transition from high school to college. During the summer and fall programs, Orientation Leaders work closely with their group of first-year students, showing them around campus and leading them through a comprehensive orientation program.
Applications for 2024 Orientation Leaders are now closed.
For 2024, there are three options when applying to be an Orientation Leader:

The first part of the OL hiring process is Group Process. This mandatory group interview provides you an opportunity to showcase how you work in a group setting. Over the course of three hours, you will participate in ice breakers, small-group initiatives, and a Q&A session.
All students who complete an application to be an Orientation Leader and meet all requirements will be required to participate in an individual interview. During your individual interview, you will meet either virtually or in person with members of the Orientation professional staff, who will ask questions about your related skills and experience and interest in the OL position. Individual Interviews will be held in February 2024.
