Fourteen University students were selected to lead incoming students and families as they transition into the Western New England University community for the 2022 Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) program at Western New England University.
Orientation Group Leaders, OGLs, are students who have consistently modeled solid citizenship and active participation in the Western New England Community. They are selected for their strong communication skills, their leadership qualities, and their ability to build relationships with students and families.
