Orientation leader Briaden Shen is a rising junior studying environmental engineering and history. He spent part of the summer hiking in southern Utah and northern Arizona, visiting the “Mighty 5” national parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches.

“I actually visited a lot of these parks in middle school for a school trip, so it was nice coming back and exploring new parts of each park,” Briaden said.

The 2025 Orientation Executive Board assists with the planning and implementation of all undergraduate orientation events at CWRU. Get to know Tolu, Julia, Shruti, Cristiana, and Avisha who have spent the summer preparing to meet new students in August.

Where are our OLs this summer? 📍☀️

Orientation leader, rising junior and student, Dolsey Lin, is studying abroad with this summer at exploring neurodegeneration using (human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) models.

Dolsey said, “What I’ve loved most about studying abroad in Copenhagen is the refreshing balance between exploring the city and being a tourist while experiencing everyday life here. If you have the chance to study abroad, definitely make the most of it!” 🇩🇰
