Orientation Leaders

Summer 2019 Orientation Leaders group shot
 
Orientation Leaders (OL) are amazing student leaders who help make your orientation experience what it is! The OLs are excited to welcome you to Cal State LA, and are dedicated to making your orientation one of the best days possible. The morning of your orientation day, you will be introduced to the entire Orientation Leader team, as well as get a chance to meet your personal OL who will be working with you and your small group throughout the day. OLs are students here, just like you, so be sure to ask them all your questions!

Interested in joining the OL team?

Andrew Blanco
Orientation Leader Coordinator

Hello Everyone! My name is Andrew Blanco and I am a fourth-year student who is about to accomplish their BA in Communication. I talk A LOT. 

But I also lead A LOT with work at the Center for Student Involvement and New Student & Parent Programs, Vice President of Lambda Pi Eta (Comm Studies Honor Society), and am an avid event goer around campus. You will most likely see me dancing around campus at events. So feel free to say what all Comm majors say: Hello!
