International Orientation Assistants work with almost every aspect of our International Student Orientation program. Their primary responsibilities are to help new students, their parents, and guests during the orientation programming that happens in August. Assistants participate in panel sessions, answer questions, provide directions and assistance, and help to ease the transition to Indiana University. They help in organizing and leading teams of volunteers to ensure new incoming international students have a positive experience. Assistants are ambassadors who teach new students about IU resources, opportunities, and expectations. During International Student Orientation, they also participate in our evening and weekend social programming.
