Summer 2010 orientation advisers sought

Faculty and teaching academic staff members are invited to apply to become 2010 summer orientation advisers. The positions are 37½ percent summer positions.

Training sessions will be held June 7–11, 2010. Fifteen one-day sessions will be held during the first three weeks of the eight-week summer session, June 14–July 2, 2010. In addition, advisers will be involved in one-day orientation programs for new students Aug. 23, 2010, and Jan. 20, 2011. Advisers new to orientation will be required to attend one training session in April.

Individuals selected for these positions must be current members of the faculty or teaching academic staff who have a commitment to advising, a "track record" of good advising and a real interest in working with first-year students. Those chosen also must have currently assigned advisees within their departments. Advisers must be available for all of the dates listed above and may not teach during the three-week or the first four-week summer session.

Additional information, including application forms, is available online. Applications are due Nov. 23.
