We hire many students for our programs throughout the school year. We look for motivated, dedicated, and forward thinking students to join our team.
If you completed an application for the Orientation Leader or FYE Leader positions, please check your TU email for information about signing up for and attending an interview. If any additional positions are available, they will be posted via Handshake by the end of the semester.
Each year, New Student and Family Programs participates in the internship program through NODA: The Association for Orientation, Retention, and Transition in Higher Education. Our interns go on to successful careers in higher education, including many former interns who stay in the orientation/transition/retention field and the local region.
"Being the NODA intern at TU allowed me to appreciate the beauty of an orientation program and university different from my own! Creating lasting connections with orientation leaders and professional staff was what meant the most to me personally, and we still keep in touch to this day! It’s heartwarming to know I was able to make an impact on them, just as they made one on me."
"My summer there had such an impact on my growth both professionally and personally. I was able to build strong connections and create the experience I wanted. I was able to work with Gail and the NSFP staff to make sure that the goals I set were being met, and I was having a positive experience. That summer pushed me to learn, grow, and experience so much more than I could have ever imagined and am so thankful for everything I was able to gain through it!"
"During my time at Towson I worked with some of the most qualified and skilled professionals I had ever met and I was able to have autonomy in the role to create projects and experiences that I felt would bring value to student leaders and incoming students. This internship pushed me to think creatively, strategically and to be disciplined in my work all while having fun, enjoying the day to day, and being proud to be a part of the NSFP team."
"I learned the importance of accountability and consistency. Supervising students can be tricky and if you haven't had the experience before, but an internship is the best way to get a taste of what it's like. The students at Towson were wonderful overall, but it showed me that feedback is important, and to treat each student individually with their needs."
