Crew Captain

NSOP Crew Captain

Crew Captains (CCs) are an essential part of NSOP because they are the liaisons between the NSOP Committee and the Orientation Leaders (OLs). Crew Captains directly influence OLs and work with a selected group of OLs as a team to welcome new students. Each CC is assigned a crew of 7-10 OLs who they are responsible for managing throughout the duration of NSOP. They begin by training their OLs how to interact successfully with new students. Throughout NSOP, they manage the tasks assigned to their Crew by the NSOP Committee. This is accomplished by communicating with and delegating jobs to their OLs and then holding them accountable, usually through a detailed nightly email explaining the next day’s events. Crew Captains are expected to keep excitement and energy going for both the Orientation Leaders and incoming students.
