As approved by the Orientation Steering Committee (March 2010), the purpose of our Orientation Program is to welcome new students and their supporters to the Seneca community and to orient them to the facilities and resources available to them that can assist in making a successful transition to college life.

Through intentional programming at orientation events, new students will develop an understanding and appreciation of the academic and social opportunities available to them to enhance their pursuit of career-related education and training.

Through the process of Orientation, we will create a sense of belonging for new students in the learning community that is Seneca College.

The Orientation Leader (OL) position is an outstanding and fun opportunity for any student interested in developing their leadership skills and making a difference in the Seneca community.
