2025 Opening Days Leader Profiles

Opening days leaders are a diverse group representing various parts of the Willamette community in their interests, majors, and co-curricular activities! They are athletes, actors, transfer and international students, club members, and presidents, and represent all different years of students.

The one thing Opening Days Leaders all share is their desire to meet and assist new students. The leaders are carefully selected during a competitive application process in February of each academic year. After their selection, they complete a Spring Training and then return to school in August for intensive training and preparation before Opening Days begins.

Besides leading the new students during Opening Days, these leaders are also responsible for planning all the events and programs that occur during Opening Days. Every leader is a member of one of the OD committees, each responsible for planning different events.

Please check back in 2025 for Opening Days Leader profiles.
