Apply to be a Blue Crew Orientation Mentor!

We are currently recruiting current students to apply to be a Blue Crew Orientation Mentor for our incoming First-Year and Transfer students over the summer. Our Orientation Mentors play a critical role in introducing new students to UNC Asheville and sharing their experiences as successful UNC Asheville students. They participate in a semester-long course, a regional conference in the spring, and a leadership training week in June in order to learn everything there is to know about campus and all the great ways to help you get ready to become a Bulldog!
