Student Leadership and Employment

Each year New Student Programs (NSP) selects two groups of mature and dedicated undergraduate student leaders to assist new members of the pack with their transition to NC State.

Orientation Positions

• Orientation Leader
  • Orientation Leaders (OLs) are a team of dedicated undergraduate students whose primary responsibility is to assist new students and their families with their transition into the NC State community and Wolfpack family. They serve as resources, facilitators, and official representatives of the University during Orientation and transition programs.
• Student Coordinator
  • Student Coordinators (SCs) play a pivotal role in the selection, training, and mentorship of Orientation Leaders, as well as the planning and execution of New Student and Family Orientation programs. The team consists of former Orientation Leaders looking to take their leadership and professional experience to the next level, building upon the knowledge and skills they gained as Orientation Leaders.
