It is encourage that all TOLs attend three one-day retreats during the summer. The retreats will be designed to build teamwork and trust among the staff, refresh the TOLs on orientation duties, and complete any office work to prepare for orientation sessions. The dates of the retreats will be available once selected to the team.
TOLs are required to work all of the orientation sessions for transfer students. A typical orientation workday starts at 7 a.m. for check-in setup and lasts until between 5-6 p.m. when advising and registration is completed. During the semester, TOLs are relieved from duty to attend classes but must return right after their class is over. The schedule for the 2019 orientation sessions are listed below:

TOLs will participate in a 2-day weekend training retreat designed to build teamwork and leadership skills and to help TOLs develop an understanding of their roles. This retreat will occur January 25 - January 27, 2019.
