the orientation apprentice


I have had a love/hate relationship with The Apprentice. I liked the older one's, but in the past couple of years it kind of turned into a circus. However, the most recent season has been pretty good. It gave me an idea.
Our office staff helps us throughout the academic year to prepare for the summer orientation program and contributes to our orientation leaders selection and training programs. Our leadership team is hired in the fall semester and works with us through the spring semester as senior level undergraduate staff members with parts of the orientation program and primarily serves as peer supervisors to our OL's. Both the leadership team and office staff compliment each others' efforts and it is important for both groups to bond within their own group as well as bond with each other. Every Friday our NSO office staff has weekly staff meetings.We also have meetings with our leadership team.

Each Friday we could  have a playful competition between our leadership team and and NSO office staff  to crown the Orientation Apprentice at the end of the semester. The key would be filming it and posting it to the NSO fan page for people to follow.

It will be important for both groups to bond with each other so some friendly fun competitition helps to bring them together.
Posting the video on facebook will be a fun thing for our fans to watch, and the student's friends will follow the videos too.
