Apply To Be An Orientation Leader

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!

The 2027 Orientation Leader Application will open on October 30th.

"Orientation pushes you outside your comfort zone, but that’s where some of the best growth happens. Being an Orientation Leader challenged me in ways I never expected and helped me discover strengths I didn’t know I had."

"I absolutely adored the work that I got to do for the Office of Orientation and Transition. I loved spending time with my team and friends (now family) as well as meeting new students and helping them to feel welcome upon this new journey. Every day was so rewarding, and I am ever-appreciative that I was able to earn this opportunity. Best summer ever!!"
