Orientation Staff is a part-time internship (10-15 hours per week) in spring,
and a full-time internship averaging 40+ hours per week in summer. The summer work
week is Monday through Friday, with Wednesdays requiring only a 2-4-hour staff meeting.
We ask that Orientation be your primary commitment other than classes in the spring,
and your primary commitment in the summer. Summer school is not allowed during Session A,
but might be allowed for Session B on a limited basis with our permission. If summer school
is a concern for you, please talk to us about it in advance.
Important: Spring Quarter staff training takes place every Monday and
Wednesday afternoon, 3:00-5:00pm and is mandatory. If you expect to be a staff member,
do not register for classes or make other commitments during this time. The
retreats planned for Spring Quarter are mandatory as well. Please check your
calendar for conflicts before applying for a position with Orientation
Staff.
Please note: The June-July-August work schedule is demanding
and does not conform to the routine 8-5 workday. We require that you place the
Orientation position as your first priority during summer and plan other activities
around it.
