What is an OWL? An Orientation Weekend Leader is a current Alvernia University student who plays an integral role in New Student Orientation (NSO). The main role of all OWLs is to assist in making our new students feel welcome and to answer any questions our new students or their parents might have (or direct the new student to the appropriate person to answer the question).
What are the benefits of being an OWL? First and foremost, OWLs have FUN!!! OWLs look back on their experience and are extremely proud of the vital role they played in the lives of our new students and in Orientation. OWLs develop leadership skills, meet new people, and have the opportunity to move back onto campus and get settled earlier than the rest of the returning students.
