Applications for O-Team 2018 are LIVE! Whether you are a UMBC student, staff, or faculty member, we hope you will share this opportunity with your peers and people in your networks. 

The Orientation Peer Advisors (OPAs), Peer Facilitators (IHU, TRS, and COMP course co-instructors), and Welcome Week Leaders (Woolies) that make up the O-Team are a diverse group of undergraduate students who play a critical role in the success of UMBC's first-year programs. O-Team members serve as University representatives to new students and parents through the summer and into the new academic year. As part of the O-Team, students will enhance their leadership skills while making a difference in the lives of new UMBC students.

The Offices of Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation, Campus Life, Residential Life, and Undergraduate Education would like to encourage you to apply to be a member of our team or share this opportunity with interested undergraduate students! We encourage applicants of all backgrounds, majors, involvements, and interests. 

If you or someone you know would be interested in helping us welcome new students to UMBC by becoming an OPA, Woolie, or Peer Facilitator, please visit the O-Team website to find the application and position descriptions. Online applications should be completed no later than Wednesday, February 21, 2018, at 12 p.m.
