Thirty-two students have been selected to serve as 2025 New Student Enrollment orientation leaders.

Through orientation, students and their families learn about campus resources, expectations, requirements, norms and success strategies. In their role, orientation leaders facilitate and engage students in activities rooted in the Husker Student POWER framework.

The students were selected through a rigorous application process that attracted many of the university’s top students. Candidates were evaluated based on their campus involvement, work experience, essay responses, professional references and performance during a three-hour, multi-part interview.
