Meet the SOCs | Washburn University

Student Orientation Counselors

Student Orientation Counselors (SOCs) are current Washburn students who are here to help with your transition to Washburn. SOCs are an excellent resource and are eager to share their college experience as a Washburn student. Each year, we look to create a team of diverse identities, represent various different majors, hometowns, and involvement.

Apply to be a SOC for Summer 2023

Applications for the Student Orientation Counselor position will open until mid-March 2023. Please apply through Student Employment online.
