Orientation Executive Staff (OES) Hiring Now Open

The Wahtera Center has opened the application process for OES. Are you looking for something to do this summer? Do you want to stay in the Houghton area to enjoy all the beauty that Keweenaw County has to offer during the summer months? Have you wanted experience planning and executing a large program like Orientation? Are you thinking that you really should be doing an internship this summer but don’t know what to do or where to go for an internship? You can use the experiences that you will have planning OTL Training Week and O-Week. It is a great opportunity to have one of the largest student-planned and student-run programs on campus under your belt. We are looking for students who are hardworking, creative, self-motivated, and who are excited to bring the New Huskies to campus!
