Orientation Guide
May - September 2018 • Reno, NV
What I liked
Everything. I was given housing, food, and compensation. I loved working with freshman students and welcoming them to the university through a number of workshops, small group conversations, and presentations.
What I wish was different
The hours were very intensive, yet I don't regret anything. The hours have to be long to provide the best orientation experience for the freshman students.
Advice
Be ready to be stressed and tired. The job can be hard when you are sick or having a bad day. This is the first time the freshman truly see the school and get immersed in what the university is all about so, even on the worst days, you must keep a happy, energetic personality.
