Student Leadership Organizations
Orientation Leaders
Orientation leaders are Coastal Georgia students who have tons of energy and enjoy meeting new people! OLs are a diverse group of student leaders who work throughout the summer months during orientation sessions, Weeks of Welcome, and Anchor Day. They are Mariners with one or more semesters of campus experience, and they’re happy to help our newest Mariners through the college transition.
