Volunteer to be an orientation leader!

Remember when you were a brand new student at USG, planning to attend orientation before your first semester? This is your chance to make a difference for others who are in the same position. As you know, incoming students are largely impacted in a positive way if their Orientation Leaders are from their same program, so we would love to see you participate and represent CCJS!

This is a volunteer opportunity and it is great for your resume and communication/leadership skills. You don't have to be available for all the orientation dates, but at least the UMD dates (July 24th and August 20, 2019) and the mandatory training on Friday, June 7th. The deadline to apply is Monday, May 20th. The application can be found here.
