The application process is designed to allow you a chance to showcase your individual strengths, personality, and what you bring to a team.
Step 1: Apply
The application is an opportunity to share more about yourself and why you want to be an Orientation Leader. It includes the application form, supplemental essay questions, and an agreement to authorize Transition Programs professional staff to verify your academic and disciplinary standing. Applications are due by October 8, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.
Step 2: Group Interview
The group interview provides a space for professional staff and team leadership to observe how you work with others. All applicants are required to participate in a group interview in order to take their next step toward being an Orientation Leader. Upon submission of your application, you will be guided to a link to select a group interview slot. Show your Seahawk spirit by wearing your favorite Seahawk gear during these interviews. Group interviews will be held on October 25, 2025.
Step 3: Individual Interview
The individual interview process provides an opportunity for you to share your experiences and desire to serve as an Orientation Leader with professional staff members and members of the Orientation Leadership Team. Invitations for individual interviews will be sent after participation in group interviews. The recommended attire for individual interviews is dressy casual. Not all applicants will be selected for an individual interview.
Step 4: Selection
Applicants will be informed of their decision by late November through their UNCW student email.
