Preview Staff
Tradition Defined
At the University of Florida, our Gators have countless opportunities to challenge themselves academically and socially while becoming engaged members of a community centered on higher learning. To support students throughout their transition to the University of Florida, New Student & Family Programs selects approximately 56 undergraduate students to serve as official University of Florida Orientation Leaders, better known as Preview Staffers.
Through a semester-long training experience, Preview Staffers become knowledgeable in academic advising, student involvement, campus resources, and community expectations. They take on the responsibility of representing the Gator Nation and helping establish the foundation for a successful college experience for more than 9,000 new students and 10,000 family members each year.
