Orientation leaders (OL) play an integral role in helping students transition to college life.

• They introduce new students to the campus and guide them through myriad academic, social, and artistic opportunities offered at CCA.
• They serve as positive role models for new students, offering friendly assistance and answering questions from students and parent alike.
• They communicate CCA's mission, policies, and procedures, as well as ensure students uphold appropriate conduct.
