As this semester progresses,
plans are being made for next
fall’s freshman class. Dottie
. Souder, area co-ordinator in the
New Area, is helping to co
ordinate the new student orienta
tion. She said that approximately
45 orientation counselors are
needed, and she is hoping that
several interested students will
apply for the position.
Souder said that there are many
advantages to being an orientation
counselor. “They get to come
back to school early, and they get
to know the other orientation
counselors,” she said. “It gives
you great leadership opportunities
because you will be assigned to
a group of students and you will
be a role model for them.”
When the counselors return to
school early, their housing and
food will be provided for them
free of charge until school of
ficially begins.
Once the new students have
settled in their residence halls,
thev will be contacted by their
counselors on different occasions
during the year. Souder said,
“We’re looking at expanding the
orientation program, so that you
can act as a resource and friend
throughout the year.”
During those days before the
freshman arrive, there will be
training sessions to prepare
students as orientation
counselors. Souder said, “This
will be good for your resume, and
it will show that you have had a
leadership role on campus. It will
also give you experience.
Support
recognition and contact with ad
ministrators as well as preparing
you for a Resident Assistant posi
tion in the fiiture. It’s a good way
to make a contribution to Elon,
have fun, and get to know other
people. You’ll get to meet the
R.A.’s and get some interaction
with them.”
She said that the skills that
orientation counselors receive can
be used in all majors “public
relation skills, communication,
leadership and service to the col
lege” are positive skills in any
area. Souder added, “it’s intrin
sically rewarding to help
freshmen who are nervous about
making the transition from home
to college.”
There will be a meeting for all
interested students on Thursday,
March 14 at 4 p.m. in the Large
Lounge of Long Student Center.
If students have questions they
may call Dottie Souder at
584-2457.
