Orientation
Crew Leader
Crew Leaders are our Orientation Leaders who support the orientation and transition of our new students at CNU. As a Crew Leader, you will welcome the Class of 2029 and be one of the first people they meet on campus. It is a unique opportunity to give back to the CNU community and the incoming class. In the Crew Leader role, you will develop skills in public speaking, group facilitation, problem solving, written and verbal communication, and much more. You will be a part of a high functioning team of student leaders and have the summer of your life getting to be the face of CNU for our new students!
What is the time commitment of a Crew Leader?
Being a Crew Leader is a big time commitment, but is worth the experience and leadership development you’ll receive! During the spring semester, it consists of a 2-hour weekly training for 5-6 weeks. During the summer, Crew Leaders are expected to be on campus for the month of June for training and to work Setting Sail. You can expect to work 40 hours per week during the month of June.In addition to working Setting Sail, Crew Leaders also assist with Welcome Week in August. You can expect to return to campus a few days earlier than the incoming class and work up to the start of classes.
