2009 Orientation Leaders
Application Form
Each semester MSU coordinates several Orientation sessions to welcome new students and parents. These sessions are essential to new students-helping them gain information about, and familiarize themselves with, many facets of the University. The leader portion of each summer freshman session lasts four days and three evenings, which includes a Sunday training session. The fall session includes three days for freshmen and one day for transfer students. The spring semester session includes two days for freshmen and one day for transfer students. The dates for all sessions are listed further down the page.
 We are very proud that the success of our Orientation Program is due in large part to the quality, ability, and dedication of Student Orientation Leaders. Trained in such areas as communication skills, leadership and presentation of factual information, paid Orientation Leaders work closely with new freshmen, transfers, and parents. They also develop a close working relationship with MSU administrators and faculty while assisting with academic advising and the registration process.
Student Orientation Leaders should be knowledgeable about campus activities, campus life and various services offered by the University. Each leader must accept the responsibility to attend the training course and to work all sessions.

- of sophomore through graduate standing in the fall of 2009.
