There is no job out there like being an MSU Denver Orientation Leader. The experience of being an Orientation Leader exposes you to endless skills and opportunities, opens up doors to new experiences, and fosters meaningful relationships. The members of the “O-Team” love their jobs, and here’s why.
A place to belong
The
O-Team is a big working family. Never in my life have I had the opportunity to
spend time with such an amazing and close-knit group of people. My coworkers
are also my best friends; we spend time together both at work and outside of it
and it has been some of the best times of my life. The Orientation team is made
up of diverse individuals with unique skills and strengths and we always work
together to make sure each person’s strengths are maximized and they have a
valued role. If you’re looking for a workplace and an organization that will
make you feel like you are valued, like you belong, and like you are truly
growing for the better, New Student Orientation is for you.
You get the chance to truly change
lives.
As an orientation leader, you’re often the very first person new students meet face-to-face. You are a source of guidance, support, and information to them. Students, as well as their parents and guests, will turn to you when they have questions or need help. You might be truly surprised at the connection you can make with a student when you share your feelings and experiences with them, and you will find that students will open up to you and trust you to be their support.. When a student finds solidarity in you, their transition is going to be much smoother. The feelings of happiness and pride OLs experience when their students succeed are irreplaceable.
Perks
Let’s
be completely honest… OLs get a lot of amazing perks! You get the opportunity
to be a part of fun and exciting trainings, team building, and leadership
experiences with the team. You meet new people across the Auraria Campus
community. Working with NSO will open doors to new leadership opportunities,
learning experiences, and skills. As you grow as a leader, the skills,
knowledge, and professional development you gain will be applicable for
countless future opportunities. Plus: you get a chance at free MSU Denver
t-shirts, backpacks, and other swag.
Fun
It’s
an orientation leader’s job to instill spirit and school pride in new students,
help them feel welcome and comfortable at MSU Denver, and cultivate connections
with other Roadrunners. How do we do that? Often through games, team builders,
trivia, ice breakers, cheers, singing and dancing, of course! If there’s one
thing OLs are known for, it’s their tendencies to always be dancing, singing,
and playing games. A job with NSO is guaranteed to be action packed and full of
positive energy.
You learn to love the campus and the school (all over again)
Nothing
will make you love your school more than getting a firsthand look at all the
amazing people, programs, partners, families, and students who make up the
community. When you’re training to help connect students with resources, you
also get to be one to work collaboratively with a community of diverse and
amazing individuals across the Auraria Campus. You make great professional and
personal connections with all the different people and organizations that make
MSU Denver thrive. Not to mention, you get a refresher of your own about the
opportunities, tips, and tricks that benefit MSU Denver students.
Leadership Development
Take
it from someone who experienced it firsthand; if you think you could never be a
leader, you’re probably wrong! NSO is the place I learned that leaders come in
every shape and size, they are both outspoken and shy, introverts, extroverts,
and come from every background. I found my own personal leadership style and philosophy
through my experiences at NSO. You can fulfill your leadership goals, learn
about yourself, and develop your personal leader skills as a member of the
O-Team. As you learn, you have a team of supportive coworkers and supervisors
with you the whole way.
