Application deadline for student leadership positions approaching
The deadline to apply for student leadership positions is Thursday, Jan. 31. Students who are applying to be a new FYT peer mentor, international student mentor, Mercy in Motion leader, Orientation leader, resident advisor, service advocate and/or Service Plunge fall facilitator for the 2019-2020 academic year should use the student leadership application.
The student leadership application allows students to apply for multiple positions. There are supplemental questions required for each position, which populate after students select the position(s) for which they are applying.
Students who currently hold one or more of the aforementioned positions should reapply through their respective offices rather than using the student leadership application. Questions about re-applications should be directed to individual offices.
Positions include:
FYT peer mentors: Co-facilitate the First Year Transitions course with an instructor. Peer mentors serve as a resource to new students and provide students with a perspective of life at Salve Regina.
