My experience as an Orientation Leader was awesome. Besides being afun summer job where I met a ton of cool people, I had the ability to make an impact on fellow Huskies in such a unique way. Hearing others’ stories, sharing my own, and acclimating students to the resources the University of Washington has to offer helped me gain public speaking, communication, and leadership skills I will be able to use for years to come. Should you apply, get ready: it will be the best summer of your life.
