The Office of Orientation and New Student Services offers programs and events that introduce incoming students at the Mount to each other, the campus and the local community. We serve as a resource for new and transitioning services and provide leadership opportunities for current students.
Orientation Leaders serve as the primary resource for new students and their families during New Student Orientation in June and August, and play a key part in welcoming new students to the Mount community.
During New Student Orientation, the Orientation Leaders strive to build relationships with our new students as well as provide any insights and knowledge about the Mount. The Orientation Leaders are role models for our new students. As a result of training, the Orientation Leaders are prepared to answer any questions new students and families might have.
