MACOMB, IL - - Western Illinois University's Undergraduate Admissions has announced the 2017 Orientation Team and a new Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) schedule.

The Orientation Team is a select group of student leaders who have demonstrated strong leadership and positive experiences at WIU through involvement in academic programs, clubs and organizations, as well as in the community. These students serve as positive role models and group facilitators, and they assist incoming students and their families throughout the year with orientation programs.

Most importantly, the Orientation Team members serve as ambassadors, aiding new students in their college transition to WIU. It is the Orientation Team's goal to help new students and their families connect the pieces to becoming a Leatherneck at WIU.
