Orientation Coordinator: Alondra Alvarez

Hello friends! My name is Alondra Alvarez and I am the Orientation Coordinator for Academics and Special Events. I am a senior year at Chapman with a Political Science and Sociology double major. I am currently working in Residence Life and First Year Experience as a Fenestra Community Coordinator, and I am also in Kappa Alpha Pi which is the Pre Law Co Ed fraternity on campus. After two years of being an orientation leader, I am excited to be stepping into the behind the scenes. As an Orientation Coordinator, I work with a great team of people to put on events like Spring Kickoff, Chapman after Dark and the Affinity Socials. I am also in charge of We Are Chapman, a fantastic celebration of what makes our student body extraordinary, which in my opinion is the heart and soul of orientation. If I could give some advice for incoming students, it would be to fully immerse yourself into the college environment! Don’t be afraid to say hello to people, odds are they want to make new friends as much as you do (and take advantage of the Leatherby Library study rooms)!
