SOS Orientation Leader/ Peer Leader
-
Jun 2016 - Dec 2017
I worked with the staff in assisting new students with summer orientation as well as their transition to college in the fall. As an SOS Leader, I personally lead a group of 10-11 first year students during their first week at Central, helping them become situated with the college through team building activities, icebreakers, and other programs. While my role as an orientation leader ends shortly after school has begun, my role as a mentor continues throughout the year for all students. As a Peer Leader, I served as a role model to the 32 SOS Leaders. I served as a mentor and guiding hand to teach them how to be successful leaders with their own groups of first year students. I worked with my supervisor on a close level to make sure that orientation ran smoothly, and that all first year students, their parents or guardians, and the rest of the orientation staff were prepared and excited for Welcome Week and classes to begin in the fall.
