Every new student is placed into a group led by an Orientation Leader during New Student Orientation. Orientation Leaders are upper-class students who have been selected and well trained to help introduce you to Wentworth.
There are also several other student leaders who work hard behind-the-scenes to help bring Orientation to life. They are called Orientation Assistants and Orientation Coordinators.
