Even though the Orientation Staff (OL/OA) and Student Leadership Consultant (SLC) positions are two separate jobs, there are some universally common reasons why you should consider applying.

The Community

As part of a team of 15 (SLCs) or 21 (Orientation Staff: OL/OA), you will develop a special bond with other student leaders through a unique combination of work and fun. These are relationships that will positively expand your IC community and will also last a lifetime!

The Development

It is hard to imagine two jobs that prepare you more comprehensively for “the future” than being a SLC and/or OL/OA. In each job you will learn universal leadership skills that are applicable in all job fields, and these diverse experiences make a perfect fit when building any resume.

The OSEMA Team

You would be hard pressed to find a more fun, supportive team to work with than the professional staff in OSEMA. Each staff member makes an effort to get to know you on a personal level, provides mentorship and guidance, and is willing to help out when the jobs get complex.

The Flexibility

While each of these jobs are a significant time commitment in their own way, there are a multitude of ways that the time commitment can work for you. The SLC position is a balance of scheduled shifts and flexible project work. OL/OAs have weekends off to explore Ithaca in the summer, take road trips, or even

The IC Connection

The heart of both positions is creating a unique bond with the campus community. The Orientation Staff guides new students through their transition into IC, while SLCs support their on-going journey by making their college experience special.

The Legacy

Each of these positions has a legacy that will not only connect you to your team/peers, but you will be connected to generations of previous leaders and the students you positively impact. You will make your mark on this position and leave the campus community just a bit better than when you started. Are you intrigued?
