Terms

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.
