Join the Team
Flock Leaders are current students trained to support and guide new students during orientation and their first few blocks at Cornell.
Flock leaders facilitate a peer group of 8-16 first years to help them get to know other students and show them how to get involved at Cornell. Flock Leaders help new students make a successful transition to Cornell. Flock Leaders meet with their group several times each day during New Student Orientation (NSO) and continue to check on their flocklings throughout the first three blocks to make sure they are connected to services, resources, and friends.
Flock Leader candidates go through a highly selective interview process during the spring semester. Ideal staff members have a positive attitude, are dependable, communicate effectively, and work well with a team. Flock Leaders are the best Cornell has to offer. They are personable and responsible community members.
Fall 2025 Flock Leaders will be required to attend spring training and move back to campus on Friday, August 15, 2025. Flock Leaders are compensated with a stipend applied to their fall tuition.
