Department of Orientation
Leadership Opportunities
Each year, the Department of Orientation puts on major orientation programs in the fall and spring semesters. The success of these programs is contingent on the student leaders, who are central to the process of acclimating students to the UM community. Therefore, each year we seek out the best and the brightest to become members of the orientation staff. Being a member of the orientation staff means you will have one of the most important leadership experiences at UM and that you will connect even further with your fellow classmates and staff.
We encourage all students to actively pursue the many orientation positions that are available each year. Applications will be available online through the links on this page and information will be updated throughout the campus during the appropriate times. Please do not hesitate to contact our office or any current student staff members if you have any questions.
