By returning to the Orientation Staff for the Fall and June Orientation Programs, I would challenge myself to develop richer relationships with my freshmen and become more of a consistent role model and resource to them during their first year at Providence College. Group 6 was very opened …show more content…

Having gone through the Orientation process once now as a leader, I think that I would challenge myself to talk about the more difficult issues that face this campus and challenge the freshmen and new student leaders to not be afraid of said topics. In the past, I use to be very afraid of talking about controversial issues, and even during Orientation this past August/September I was nervous of saying the wrong things or coming across as ignorant or unaware of important issues facing not just this campus, but society as a whole. As a student leader, i believe that it is important to stay on top of these difficult issues so that we can not only talk about and educate the people we lead, but also to make talking about said topics less taboo and uncomfortable. The more we talk about these issues, the easier it’ll be to have more efficient and productive conversations on the matter and make the campus, and world, we live in a better place. Providence College isn’t perfect, no college is, but by continuing to a part of the Orientation staff, I hope to not only challenge myself to talking about more uncomfortable topics comfortably, but also help others do the same as …show more content…

Having gone through the experience once now, I think that it would be easier for me to go through the routine and better stay on top of task while always putting my best face forward toward my group of

By creating a position for student outreach I feel students can turn to someone who has similar experiences as them and can help them navigate life as a teen on the Branson campus. I think since seniors are expected to lead and have a lot of experience on the campus these students should come from a senior class. So in addition to having a class dean and dean of students, the student body can have two students that focus on the well-being of the student body.
