Tuesday, August 18th

Hours: 7:45am - 4:30pm

9am-12pm Trained Orientation leaders in the morning utilizing a "train the trainer" methodology. Instead of me running ice breakers, I asked the orientation leaders to run the ice breakers. It worked fairly well, and I'm hoping that it builds my own confidence in the OL's ability to facilitate ice breakers in groups, and demonstrates to them that I trust their facilitation skills. Ayan, a new orientation leader did the name game, Lafayette facilitated 4 corners with me, and Sean facilitated two truths and a lie. We have an orientation leader in a wheelchair, so it's especially good practice for the OL's to be thinking about different ability levels of students that may be in their group - visibly and not visibly.

12pm-1pm Brainstormed a running list of tasks for OL's to work on during their mandatory "office hours" that take place from 1pm-5pm every day this week.

1pm-3pm Met with Orientation Saturday of Service committee to iron out details, work through the logistics of the day.
