Orientation Coordinator team
Orientation Coordinators and Assistant Dean of Campus Life & Campus Life Coordinator
Orientation is overseen by two upper year student leaders who serve as your Orientation Coordinators (OC's)! These two students work alongside St. Mike's Staff members, Karina Stellato who is our Assistant Dean of Campus Life, and Cianna Choo, Campus Life Coordinator to make sure your transition to university is smooth and enjoyable!
"St. Mike’s is not only our home away from home, but it was crucial in our transition into college life during our first year at U of T. It assisted us in growing as students, leaders and individuals. Because of this, the five of us wanted to give back to our community, and ensure that the incoming class is guaranteed the same experience! We have been working diligently over the past four months to plan an amazing week full of activities."
Orientation Team
Orientation Marshals
Ever wonder who the staff are that craft advertisements, organize activities, sets up and take down events and ensure there is food for everyone? Meet your Orientation Marshals!
From making this website and designing our Orientation logos, to running activities and sorting food arrangements, Marshals are the people making sure that everything is running smoothly as expected! Orientation Marshals are responsible for the day to day planning, as well as the execution of different activities and the schedule. These are also the people who are filled with enthusiasm and "bleed blue" with their St. Mike's spirit throughout the week. They are ambassadors for our community and are wonderful role models of the many USMC Heroes that are in our St. Mike's family.
All Marshals are identifiable by bright red t-shirts. Their important role explains why they have to consume sizeable jugs of coffee on an hourly basis throughout the week! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to stop one of them and ask.
Orientation Mentor-Leaders
Want to have a mentor throughout your first year at UofT and enjoy Orientation with them? Meet your Orientation Mentor-Leaders!
Committed to supporting first years beyond orientation, mentor-leaders will guide their mentees, not only throughout orientation week, but also for the rest of the academic year. During orientation, they serve as a leader for their orientation group, and after orientation, they stay in touch with mentees as part of SMC peer mentorship program!
Orientation Leaders are identifiable by their dark blue t-shirts. Like leaders, they also have an insane capability to solely communicate through St. Mike’s cheers.
