Fall 2025 Orientation Leaders

 

Our international student orientation leaders are a vital part of the team that helps incoming international students feel welcomed, supported, and connected from the moment they arrive. These student leaders bring a diverse array of talents, languages, and cultural perspectives to create a warm and inclusive environment. With firsthand experience navigating the transition to a new country and academic system, these students offer invaluable peer guidance, share practical tips, and foster friendships that span cultures. Through leading activities, hosting information sessions, and providing one-on-one support, they play a crucial role in helping new students feel at home and start their journey with confidence and community. Congratulations to our five orientation leaders leading the Summer/Fall 2025 Orientation Sessions!
