Orientation Leader Reflections | 2025

January 26, 2026

As we get ready to welcome the Class of 2030 we are looking forward to a new team of Orientation Leaders to help us out! Hear from some of our past orientation leaders about their favorite parts of being an OL!

Orientation Leaders consistently make great memories! Hear what they have to say!

Rylie Flipp
Being an OL helped me connect with other people and on top of being a fun job it really helped me to feel a part of the campus community. I learned so much and am proud to help let others know how awesome Worcester State is!

Nikola Shule
I can confidently say that being an OL was one of the best jobs I have done. There was so much to learn and experience throughout the month of June and the many great people you can meet during this experience whether they are your partner, roommate or the first year students. Being an orientation leader is a unique experience for everyone!

Johnathon Beford
The things I enjoyed most about the orientation leader position were the community and the responsibility. The community I found through pro-staff and my peers was truly incredible and inspiring. Everyone there was so unique, interesting, and inspiring; I felt pushed to be my best self when around them. The responsibility pushed me just far enough out of my comfort zone. I learned valuable stress management skills, but never felt too overwhelmed. I woke up every day ready to see what we’d accomplish as a team.
