Orientation Coordinator: Katlyn Barbaccia

Hello incoming students and families! My name is Katlyn, and I am the Orientation Coordinator for Operations and Logistics. My position is focused on the behind-the-scenes aspects of Orientation, which includes collaborating with campus partners and organizing event logistics to ensure that Orientation is a success on all fronts! I am an upcoming Senior Political Science and Sociology double-major with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. I am currently working as an Office Assistant for RLFYE, and I am involved as an Active Member of Kappa Alpha Theta and as a Committee Member for University Program Board. In my spare time I enjoy getting coffee with friends, going hiking, and taking care of my houseplants. I am incredibly honored to have the opportunity to be part of the process that welcomes new students to the Chapman community. The one key piece of advice I have for incoming students is to take in every second of your experience. You only get one Orientation, so make it count: make memories, meet new people, and step out of your comfort zone!
