Testimonials

Here is what OLs have had to say about their experience:

“Through this experience I have made long lasting friendships with individuals of diverse educational and ethnic backgrounds. I have also had the opportunity to help many first year students ease into the atmosphere of our college community with the confidence and reassurance they made the right decision.”

“Being a Conestoga College Orientation Leader is not something you do for a few days, it is something you become, and will continue to be!”

“I am naturally a very outgoing, talkative and confident individual. In addition to this, I can also be very quiet and reserved around those I do not know. For me, being an Orientation Leader broke this mould, in the strongest and most positive of ways. “

“I have gained many valuable skills from being an OL. I have become a strong leader, and I have better people skills. I have also become aware the people I am surrounded with and their needs and wants. I have a greater respect for people, and value their beliefs. I have learned that a simple smile or hello could change a person’s life.”
