New Student & Transition Programs Staff
In addition to the four professional staff members, our staff is predominantly comprised of undergraduate students; and it is this staff that is at the heart of the UCLA New Student & Transition Programs. During the school year, the New Student Advisors assist with many different programs that take place to help ease students with their transitions. During New Student Orientation, their roles distinctly become Team Blue and Team Gold.
Team Blue works within the NSTP office, helping to run the administrative aspects of the program and also serve as advisors for family members at Family Orientation. Team Gold are the peer advisors who provide both academic counseling and a firsthand knowledge of the campus to students at the First Year and transfer sessions.
If you are a UCLA undergraduate student, you might consider applying for these positions. Working as part of the New Student & Transition Programs is a highly rewarding experience that can build fantastic skills, including counseling, teaching, and leading presentations. Working within this close-knit staff often develops lasting, memorable friendships as well!
