Your orientation leaders have all the inside information you'll want to know as you start your first year at Otterbein.
Orientation Leaders are distinguished upper-class students who volunteer their time to prepare for and to welcome new students to campus. Individually, they represent a variety of academic majors, hometowns, extracurricular interests and cultures.
When you arrive on campus for orientation, you will join an orientation group that will consist of 15-20 students and two enthusiastic orientation coordinators. Recalling their own experiences of what it was like to be a new student, your orientation leaders have chosen programs that will help you succeed both academically and personally, and they will enable you to meet other new students.
Would you like to be an Orientation Leader?
Email orientation@otterbein.edu or stop by Student Success and Career Development in the lower level of Towers Hall.
