The opportunity

Orientation Leaders are the welcoming committee, campus tour pros, answer-every-question humans, and the calm-in-the-chaos energy that new students and families need. You’ll help create a first impression that feels exciting, organized, and genuinely supportive.
 

During Summer Orientation in June and August, you’ll welcome students, families, and supporters, lead conversations and activities, help guests navigate campus, and build connections from the moment they arrive. This role is high-energy, fast-paced, and all about helping new students feel confident and ready to start at SNHU. Flexibility is important, as program days may include early mornings, evenings, and long days.
