Orientation Leaders (OLs) play a vital role in introducing new students to GCC and helping them feel connected.

In response to last semester's Orientations, new students repeatedly mentioned how welcomed they felt in Orientation, how helpful the OLs were and how their Orientation experience left them feeling less anxious and better prepared to start the semester.

During virtual GCC101 and Secrets to Success sessions, OLs connect with students in the chat, answer questions, talk about resources and facilitate brief break-out sessions encouraging new students to interact with each other. (OLs can specify virtual or in-person or both.)

For in-person sessions, you will lead group discussions (don't worry—we'll give you questions and prompts to use), take groups of students on tours of the campus and, like in the virtual sessions, answer questions, talk about resources and discuss your own GCC experiences.

In addition to virtual and in-person GCC101, we will also offer peer-supported Moodle practice sessions online and stand-alone tours with icebreakers, so that students who have done Orientation online will still get a chance to see the campus and meet some folks in person.

Mandatory trainings and most events will happen right before and around the start of the semester. View a sample Orientation schedule →

Eligibility: Any degree-seeking or dual enrollment student who has been taking classes one semester or more (minimum of six credits completed).

Expectations: 10-12 hours/week right before and into the start of the semester. The majority of these hours will be in pre-scheduled 2-3 hour shifts. Some shifts are in the evening hours (not after 8 p.m.).
