Dear Bearcat:
Thank you for considering being a part of the committee for Orientation 2014. Orientation 2014 hopes to bring many new programs and initiatives for the Class of 2018. The role of an Orientation Member is to work closely with the Orientation Directors and your Event Coordinator to facilitate the best program possible for the incoming freshman class. Even if you were a member of last year’s Orientation program, you still have to reapply and schedule an interview. Some of the main responsibilities are listed below.
Orientation Member Responsibilities
- Serve as a mentor for 4 to 5 first-year students and guide and assist them throughout their transition to Saint Vincent College.
- Assist first-year students and parents in Move-In Day and Welcome Weekend 2014.
- Assist assigned Event Coordinator with execution of his/her responsibilities and projects.
- Plan and execute both social and educational first year oriented events during Academic Orientation, Move-In Weekend, and the entire length of Orientation program.
We will have Information Sessions for any one that is applying for the first time and would like to learn more about being a part of the Orientation program. The information sessions will take place on Monday, February 3rd and on Tuesday, February 11th 9:30 pm of the Luperallo Lecture Hall in the Dupre Science Pavillion. As a reminder, applications must be submitted no later than Friday, February 14, 2013.
Interviews for the Orientation Committee this year will take place over three days. Interviews will take place on Thursday, February 20 (9:00 pm - 11:00 pm), Friday, February 21 (4:00 pm - 8:00 pm), and Saturday, February 22 (10:00 am - 4:00 pm). The interview will be with one Orientation Director and one Event Coordinator and will last roughly 15 minutes. After that interview, you will have a brief few minute interview with myself. On the last page of the application, you will select which timeframe you would like for your interview. Sometime during the week of February 10th, you will receive a confirmation email with your interview time and location.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me at jeffrie.mallory@stvincent.edu or at extension 2564.
Thank You and Good Luck.
