The OTEAM is an undergraduate student leadership group dedicated to engaging new students, along with their families and guests, as they attend orientation and begin classes at IUPUI. During the summer, OTEAM leaders serve as orientation leaders and introduce the campus to more than 5,000 students and 2,500 family members and guests who are new to IUPUI. In the fall, OTEAM members participate in first-year seminars, including Bridge Week and learning community sections, as peer mentors. These students serve as advocates for the interests, needs, and rights of first-year students.
