Prior to Your "Orange Connection"

• Complete and return the “Orange Connection” application to Career Services by Oct. 1.
• Alternates also need to complete and return the form by the deadline to be placed in the alternate file should the opportunity become available at a later time.
• After applying, students are required to attend two orientation sessions held in Nov. and Feb.
• We will provide you with the alumni sponsor's contact information, work with you to develop a focus project, and provide your travel itinerary.

After Your "Orange Connection"

• Submit all receipts and any unused funds from your stipend. Unused funds should be returned by a check made payable to Wartburg College. Cash will not be accepted.
• Return disposable camera provided. We recommend taking photos of people and settings that can be used for promoting the Orange Connection program. You will receive copies of your photos.
• Alumni sponsors make a very generous contribution of their time for this program so you are expected to mail them a hand-written thank you note within one week of your experience.
• Complete an evaluation so the OC program can continue to evolve and improve.
• Write up a reflection about your experience. If your project includes something specific you helped do, design, or make (i.e. a brochure, agenda to meetings, presentations, etc.) you may choose to provide a copy of this product with a brief write-up of your reflections on how it helped explore your learning objectives. Your focus project will be available for review by Wartburg students, alumni, and future program participants. Your reflection can take many forms such as journals or blogging online.
