First Year Experience
START LEADERS


STAND OUT IN THE CROWD ... Apply to be a START Leader ... [MORE]

START Leaders play an integral role in the success of the Philadelphia University START & New Student Orientation program and are recognized leaders throughout the Philadelphia University community. 

They serve as group leaders, liaisons between various departments, registration assistants, peer educators, and positive role models.  START Leaders are actively involved in assisting all new students with their transition to Philadelphia University, whether it be from high school, the work force, the military, or another institution of higher education.

As an incoming student if you see a START Leader from the same hometown, with the same major, or with common interest, feel free to drop them a note!
