UBC Science Senior Orientation Leader – UBC Orientations, Centre for Student Development and Leadership
Imagine UBC and the University's first year transition programs serve as new students' formal welcome to the University, an invocation to the learning community that is built on equity and mutual respect. Imagine UBC helps students begin to find a community at UBC, feel supported from their first day on campus and throughout their first year, and provides a beginning to a learning experience that will challenge, stimulate and prepare them to achieve their goals and meet the challenges of our local and global communities.
Imagine UBC is coordinated through the Vice President, Students' portfolio working in collaboration with staff, faculty and students from across the University in the development and implementation of the program.
The Senior Orientation Leader position plays an important role in the recruitment, development and oversight of student leaders involved in Imagine UBC. The Senior Orientation Leader provides both direct and indirect peer support to a cohort of first year students.
Due to the ongoing impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the details of this role may change during the planning process for Imagine UBC. We anticipate that this role will take place primarily in person in September 2023. During the summer of 2023, you may participate in this role virtually. The delivery of orientations programming and this role may change, depending on provincial safety measures and the university’s approach to learning in 2023. If you have questions about what this might look like, please contact us.
This volunteer posting is for 16 Senior Orientation Leaders.
• 12 Senior Orientation Leaders will be working directly with developing and supporting the programming for First-Year Science Students (majority of which are direct entry from high school).
• 4 Senior Orientation Leaders will be working directly with developing and supporting the programming for Transfer Science Students (transferring from another university or college, including UBC Okanagan, or from another Faculty/program within UBC Vancouver).
All 16 Science Senior Orientation Leaders, regardless of being designated as First-Year or Transfer, will work closely as a single, cohesive team to help build out and implement the Imagine UBC Orientation Experience for the Faculty of Science.
The Science Senior Orientation Leader position begins on April 1, 2023.
Note: Recruitment for other Orientation & Transition Leader roles, including Imagine UBC Orientation Leaders, will begin in April 2023.
