Orientation Leaders (OLs) are a part of most orientation programs. Because research has focused predominantly on staff selection and training, little is known about the impact that becoming an OL has on the OLs themselves. Using self-authorship as a framework, this study explored how various aspects of becoming an OL served as catalysts for self-authorship development. OLs participated in semi-structured interviews. Five characteristics of the OL experience emerged as catalysts for self-authorship development.
