Orientation Leader Testimonials
Here's what our current Orientation Leaders have to say about being an OL!
"Being a part of the Orientation Leader Team is truly a life changing experience. I have been given the opportunity to network with so many different faculty and staff here on campus that I know would not have happened if I was not an Orientation Leader. The memories and friends that you make while being a part of this team are ones that will last a lifetime."
Kristen Walker, Senior, Elementary Education Major
Orientation Leader
"I enjoy being an OL because it helps give other male students such as myself, the opportunity to see that males can get involved as well as enjoy themselves on TWU's campus."
Lorenza (LD) Aubrey, Criminal Justice Major
Orientation Technology Coordinator
"I am glad to be apart of the Orientation Program for the third year because it has truly helped me grow to be a very successful young woman throughout my college career. It is the best to know that I have made so many friends on and off the team. I also love the fact that when my job is done, there are so many answered questions and so many people who appreciate me for what I did for them."
Sherika Gaines, Senior, Education Major
Orientation Team Leader
"I chose to come to TWU because of their excellent Occupational Therapy program. However, I felt that being a transfer/commuter student it would be difficult to fit in to their traditional student crowd. Since being at TWU I have found that they offer more than enough opportunities for anyone to participate in; whether they want to excel academically or develop as a person. I feel more at home at TWU than I could anywhere else."
Julie Johnson, Family Studies Major
Orientation Leader
"Being an OL is one of the best opportunities on campus. You make great friends, learn to work with an awesome team, and make a real difference to the incoming freshmen! Best of all, you get fed a lot, and have tons of fun!"
Kendyll Castles, Senior, Art Major
Orientation Team Leader
"Being an Orientation Leader has been one of the best times of my life. Not only do you gain a better appreciation of your campus but you make life long friends. You also get to know the administration on campus so it helps you in the future because you will know who you can turn to when you need help with issue A or B. Then, once you're at Orientation you have the opportunity to make new students feel that TWU is definitely the place for them and that they made the right decision in coming here. I love it when I see the excitement in students faces when they first walk on to campus. There isn't a better feeling."
