Work for Orientation

Each year the Office of Orientation and the Department of Housing and Dining Services hire undergraduate students for the paid positions of Orientation Leader (OL) for summer.  OL’s are a vital component of the New Student Orientation experience, they assist students and their families in the transition to living on campus, introduce components of student life and will work to facilitate the objectives of the program.  CU students can apply for the day orientation leader position now.  Application packets are due March 1.

Volunteer with Orientation

CU faculty and staff are welcome to join us at several orientation events.  Volunteers can assist with student and parent/guest check-in in the morning or join us for our parent/guest luncheon where you'll mingle and talk to the family members of new CU students.

Check back in March for specific dates, times and locations.
