Hey UBC Sauder!

Absolutely not. We understand that orientations can seem like a loud, outgoing event, and admittedly, there is cheering. That being said, we have many different types of students coming to UBC Sauder, and many types of Orientation Leaders. We want orientation to be welcoming to all! We are looking to hire a team that is balanced and representative of the UBC Sauder community, with all energy levels represented.

Applications will be reviewed against the job description, the goals of Imagine UBC, and UBC Sauder values. Participants will be invited to a group interview, where our team will assess candidates around scenarios and general fit for the role

Attend a group interview (May 24-27)

Attend in-person Summer End Off (July 22, 2023 - encouraged)

At Summer End Off, Orientation Leaders will participate in a series of in-person games to help The Spark refine their plans for September. This day also helps Orientation Leaders bond and get to know each other.

This is optional but very much encouraged!

Attend virtual Meetings & Socials with your team of other Orientation Leaders throughout the summer.

Will include up to 7 hours of synchronous and asynchronous learning activities.

Attend mandatory in-person Orientation Leader Training (Monday, September 4, 2023)

Lead your group in person at Imagine UBC (Tuesday, September 5, 2023)

Lead your group in-person at The Spark (September 8-9, 2023)

Attend in-person Orientation Leader Training (Monday, September 4, 2023)

Orientation Leader Training is a full day of preparation for The Spark, and your chance to pull together the final details of your plans with your Spirit Leader team.

Bring the Spirit in-person at The Spark (September 8 and 9, 2023)

UBC Sauder-specific orientation program. The Spark builds community and school spirit through games and small group activities that allow students to have fun and connect with each other and their orientation leaders.
