Just a friendly reminder that the Wahtera Center is hiring for Orientation Team Leads, Success Coaches, ExSEL Peer Mentors, and Success Course Peer Assistants. If you have a student who would be great in any of these roles please encourage them to apply. We love to pair our incoming classes with students who are in the same major as them for orientation it helps them have someone to ask all their questions to even as the semester progresses. The first round of applications are due by January 25 but we will keep interviewing and hiring until we hit our numbers so if you know of students waiting for the RA process to be complete that’s ok encourage them to apply for this role as a second option.
