Student Leader Selection Information

General Information

Every spring semester Campus Activities & Residential Engagement office coordinates the Student Leader Selection process to hire Community Assistants (CA), Orientation Leaders (OL) and First-Year Mentors (FYM) for the upcoming academic year.  During this process we look for students that will show a commitment to building positive community and developing their potential as future leaders. 

While we have many of our Student Leaders return from year to year, we are always looking for new folks to join our fantastic team.  If you are interested in becoming a student leader, pay attention for informational emails, posters, and on our Involve event page for announcements with details about the application process.  The dates and deadlines are different each semester, but applicants must complete the same steps to be considered.  The steps for New-Hire Applicants are:

  1. Fill out an application for new hires.  This includes some short essay questions, a copy of your resume, and  submission of reference information
  2. Attend  the Group Process session on  March 9 or March 10  hosted by the entire Campus Activities & Residential Engagement team. You will receive an email regarding your Group Process Session once your application is received. 
  3. Complete an individual interview with 1 current Student Leader and 1 Professional Staff member
  4. Wait to hear back within a couple weeks.
