New Student Services is recruiting and selecting Orientation Advisers who will help develop, plan and implement the 2016 orientation program..

Orientation Advisers support and mentor new freshman and transfer students as they transition to The University of Texas at Austin. To prepare for this critical role, Orientation Advisers receive extensive leadership training that serves them throughout their time at UT Austin and beyond. They also learn valuable academic advising skills, write and perform in productions, develop creative media, plan large-scale events and much more.

Students from any college and classification are eligible to become an Orientation Adviser. To apply, students MUST attend one of the following OA Information Sessions:
Tuesday, Oct. 13, 8:30-9:30pm, CLA 0.126

Required attendance is intentional, because at the session we communicate to students the level of commitment the experience entails.
