The Jumpstart Planning Committee is excited to announce that we are looking for leaders for the 2022 Jumpstart Program - and we hope that you apply!

Jumpstart Leaders participate in a specific Jumpstart program as a peer leader and are a valuable source of information and advice as students begin their college experience. All Jumpstart Leaders are expected to support and welcome all new students in the program to help foster a sense of belonging during the program and after.

Any current student can apply to be a leader; past participation in the Jumpstart program is helpful but not required. If selected, you would be able to move in to your residence hall room on August 12, more than a week prior to regular move-in dates. Meals will be provided during the Jumpstart program, and dining halls will be open for students with meal plans for the week prior to classes starting. 

If you have questions about the Jumpstart Program, or the Jumpstart Leader position, please contact the Office of Student Engagement at ose@ithaca.edu or 607-274-3222. We look forward to reading your application!
