It typically includes campus tours, informational sessions, opportunities to meet faculty, staff, and fellow students, and guidance on academic and social resources.

Familiarity with campus management systems, registration platforms, and event management software is typically required. Exceptional interpersonal skills, public speaking, and flexibility help in engaging new students and coordinating with various campus departments. These skills ensure smooth orientation events, foster positive first impressions, and support student success and retention.
