New Chimera Leader applicants, apply here.

Chimera Leaders are students who assume various leadership roles across the Division of Student Affairs. 

Current chimera leadership roles are comprised from the Offices of Student Life (OSL), Residential Education (Res Ed), and International Student Affairs & Programs (ISAP), with positions consisting:

• Campus Activities Board (CAB) Members
• ISAP Ambassadors
• Orientation Leaders (OLs)
• Resident Assistants (RAs)
• Student Council

Responsibilities, compensation, and benefits vary between positions. Please click here to learn more about each position.

Our goal for each student who begins this journey is to experience reflection, value, and joy in the Chimera Leadership process, feeling inspired to creatively serve the CCA community and communities beyond campus, regardless if a position is offered to you.

• Applicants interested in applying should be currently enrolled CCA students in a degree-seeking program.
• Applicants should also be in good student conduct and academic standing with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA or having successfully completed the majority of their pass / no credit courses.
• Applicants for Student Council must also apply for another Chimera Leadership position. Invitation to join the Student Council is dependent on acceptance to another Chimera Leadership position.

All appointed Chimera Leaders are required to attend and participate in all mandatory dates, as determined by their individual departments. More information about individual job requirements and dates will be shared in acceptance offers.

Due to schedule conflicts, a chimera leader cannot hold an Orientation Leader, ISAP Ambassador, or RA position at the same time. However, a student can hold one of the above positions and still be part of the Campus Activities Board and/or Student Council.
