Transfer Orientation Leader
A Transfer Orientation Leader (TOL) is a student who assists the Director of Academic Engagement with the planning and implementation of the transfer orientation program at the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis. The TOL role is a vital part of the student transition, and without these student leaders, the program would not be a success. The goals of the program include engaging new transfer students in the UHSP community, assuring awareness of campus resources, and providing support and mentoring towards a successful first year at UHSP. Orientation is considered an on-going process that starts with college admittance and continues throughout the first year and includes semesterly meetings/social activities for transfer students. TOLs will serve as guides, mentors, and role models to new students and will assist them with the transition to UHSP and encourage involvement in the campus community.
