An Orientation Leader (OL) is an undergraduate student who helps incoming first-year and transfer students transition to NIU. An OL’s primary role is to build connections between new students and help form a sense of belonging on campus. Additionally, OLs serve as a resource and role model to new Huskies.
Orientation Leaders will participate in semester-long training and will assist with summer orientation programs from May to August. To further their leadership opportunities, Orientation Leaders have the opportunity to assist with various programming during Week of Welcome (WOW).
Orientation Leader recruitment takes place each fall semester. Please check back then for more information
