First Year Experience

Apply to be an Orientation Leader for summer 2014

Orientation Leaders (OLs) are undergraduate students who play an integral role in introducing new students to Ohio State by serving as mentors and sharing their experiences as successful students. Throughout the summer, OLs assist our incoming students and their families in a variety of capacities, all to make the newest members of our community excited and prepared to come to Ohio State. OLs work in collaboration with other OLs, First Year Experience (FYE) professional staff, University Housing staff, academic advisors and other University administrators to ensure that new students have a positive orientation experience.
