Team Mission Statement: Gonzaga's New Student Orientation '13 empowers you new Zags to embrace your experience, utilize your resources, discover your passions and Discover Your Gonzaga. Orientation '13 aspires to provide opportunities of engagement between the new students and the Gonzaga community, learning from one another in reciprocal relationships through questioning, conversation, kinship, and support.
Gonzaga's New Student Orientation is planned by five current students who are known on campus as "O-Core." O-Core is your go-to resource and communication liaison for any questions, concerns or general wonderings that you may have about Gonzaga. This year's team is comprised of:
Naseeb, the Orientation Coordinator, is a senior political science and psychology double-major from Vancouver, Washington. She is a member of the women's crew team, a campus ambassador, and a student coordinator for CCASL's GAME program. Her favorite memory at GU is her experience with the pre-orientation program B.R.I.D.G.E. (Building Relationship in Diverse Gonzaga Environments), which she later managed the public relations campaign for.
Grant, the Activities Manager, is a senior accounting major with a minor in political science from San Diego, California. He plays for Gonzaga’s club volleyball team, is a tutor in the athletic department, a member of the Beta Alpha Psi honor society, and the Knights of Gonzaga, both as an inactive member and an advisor. Grant enjoys hiking, skiing, the water, and Zag basketball! Grant’s favorite Gonzaga memory is going to Battle in Seattle against Kansas State this past December.
Sarah, the Small Groups and Catering Manager, is a senior business administration major with a concentration in human resource management and a sociology minor from Marysville, Washington. She is involved in the Comprehensive Leadership Program (CLP), was previously an orientation leader, is the president of the Society of Human Resource Management, volunteered with Campus Kitchens, participated in on-campus Christian Life Communities (CLCs) and is an avid intramural sports player. Her favorite memory at Gonzaga was when Gonzaga pulled out a W against St. Mary's and everyone in C/M celebrated!
Brady, the Academics and Special Populations Manager, is a senior double-major in applied communication studies and English on the writing track with a minor in philosophy from Kansas City, Missouri. She has been involved with the Comprehensive Leadership Program, Ambassadors, Ski and Snowboard Club, CCASL's Service-Learning Fellowship, Athletic tutoring, and the student-run non-profit Zambia Gold as a Murdock Intern. She studied abroad last summer in Zambezi, Zambia, and plans to continue traveling and serving abroad upon graduation from GU. Brady could not pinpoint one specific time to cite as her favorite memory at GU—every day spent on this campus is one she has loved. Rather, she enjoys the various "soul moments" that take place whenever she gets stopped on the way to class to say "hi" to friends.
Brandon, the Public Relations Manager, is a senior public relations major with minors in general business and promotions from Buckley, Washington. Brandon has been involved with Campus Kids, Connections, SMILE, and Knights & Setons, both as an inactive member and an advisor, alongside Grant, and is a campus ambassador with Naseeb and Brady. Brandon's favorite memory at Gonzaga was the Florida Georgia Line concert this Spring.
