Orientation Assistants Wanted!

The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) invites you to help us welcome new international students during the Fall 2008 New International Student Orientation week by volunteering as an Orientation Assistant (OA). Both international and domestic students are encouraged to apply.

When is Orientation?

Orientation week will begin on Monday, August 18, 2008.

When will OAs be trained?

OAs will have an informational meeting on Thursday, August 14, 2008 from 11 am - 2 pm in the Bundy Reading Room (Avery Hall).  A delicious lunch will be served.  All OAs are expected to attend this important meeting.

What is Airport Pick-up?

International Programs will offer a pick-up service from Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport for new international students on August 16 & 17.  Drivers and Greeters are needed for each flight on both days.  OAs with a valid U.S. driver’s license can sign up to transport students from the airport and take them to campus.

What if I don’t have a valid U.S. driver’s license or don’t feel comfortable driving?

You can still participate in Airport Pick-up by acting as a Greeter. Each flight will need both a driver and a Greeter to help give a warm, friendly welcome to the newly arriving international students.

What does an OA do?

Here are some examples of OA tasks:

• Staff the Help Desk & Information Table
• Assist presenters in various sessions
• Drive WSU vehicle or greet students at Airport Pick-up
• Set-up & Clean-up
• Help serve meals and refreshments

Application Deadline

Application Deadline is Wednesday, August 13, 2008 or until all OA positions are filled.
Please note: All elligible OA applicants must be in good academic standing.
