Orientation Leader Application

Apply Now to be an
Orientation Leader for Fall 2008!

Orientation Leaders are student role models who serve a vital role in the transition of our first-year and transfer students into the Lehigh community. OLs are dedicated leaders who possess strong communication skills, a desire to be part of team, and pride in Lehigh University. Orientation Leaders work with a small group of first-year students throughout the August Orientation program as well as the fall semester. This is a great way to get involved, meet new friends and make a difference!

Each fall semester we start to recruit staff for the following August. Our staff consists of students from all the colleges and who are involved in a variety of campus activities and organizations.
