Update with UBC Orientations

Group interview processes are underway! In fact, tomorrow is the last day we will hold interviews for MUG Leader applicants, but we may have to open up some more this Friday and Saturday.

This year we had a record of over 1177 applications to be Orientations leaders! That is quite astounding. We will have a lot of data management and interview results to go over, but with the help of the squad leaders that shouldn’t be too difficult. As per usual, science had the most and arts had the second most. At this point we are no longer accepting applications for Science MUG Leader applicants but we are accepting applications for other faculties and programs.

The group interview process is much like a carousel interview where as an applicant you get into groups and go off into multiple stations to show us what kind of person you are. We are looking for students who are passionate about making the first day for the next generation of students easygoing and fun but at the same time fill the mentor role that you will have with these new students. After all, many of them will not have a direct connection to UBC coming in.
