According to Chrissy Roth-Francis, director of New Student Services, other colleges with similar orientation programs also generally have volunteer leaders. She said the GBO orientation leaders will still be rewarded despite not being paid directly. In return for volunteering for GBO, the orientation leaders will have access to priority registration for Phase I of their spring class enrollment and opportunities for career development.

This will include a heightened focus on relationships between orientation leaders and incoming students, making the week more meaningful for students. He added that the program hopes to include leaders from a diversity of backgrounds.

After a group interview process in early March for applicants, training for accepted students will begin in mid-March and run for four weeks. Golden Bear Advising prepares students prior to their arrival on campus, providing them with a solid foundation to build upon before they arrive for Golden Bear Orientation.

During the week-long Golden Bear Orientation, students meet their academic adviser in-person, participate in programming planned by each college, and interact with faculty who have volunteered to participate in GBO. Required education is the same for the Golden Bear Experience as it was in the past, and includes Bear Pact and Think About It training regarding sexual violence and harassment, alcohol, and mental health.

In addition to academics, finding a community is a top concern for many incoming students. We want them to feel engaged and included. Golden Bear Orientation focuses broadly on academics, campus resources, and community-building functions.

Getting Your Bearings is a two-week experience following Golden Bear Orientation of events sponsored by campus departments and includes social organizations as well as college-specific events.
