Are you passionate about the U, and looking for a way to make a positive impact? Join our team and apply to be an Orientation Leader (OL)!
The OL position is a unique leadership opportunity for current students to officially welcome new students to the University of Utah. OLs are hired to ease the transition of incoming first-year students, transfer students, and their families as they transition to the U. OLs also serve as a resource for our new community members by providing honest and current information about any and all aspects of the U.
The most rewarding part of being an OL is having the opportunity to meet new students and help guide them in finding their place at the University of Utah. Take advantage of your chance to do the same by joining our team!
Thank you for your interest in joining the Office of Orientation & Transition in welcoming the University of Utah's newest students and families.
