Orientation Leaders

Class of 2030, Meet your Orientation Leaders, The Links!

Links volunteer as leaders, advocates, and friendly points of contact for the incoming first years. They guide them through orientation week and maintain contact to help establish a smooth transition to college for all students and make them feel welcome.

Lead Links are the volunteer mentors, organizers, and go-to contacts for the Link leaders themselves. They have bountiful Link experience and know the ins and outs of the job, helping train the Links assigned to them and overseeing the entire orientation process.

Meet the Lead Links
