CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Several of Lesley University's student-athletes volunteered time out of their summer to be orientation leaders for the new students coming to Cambridge in the fall of 2008. Four of them sat down to talk about their experiences and what it has meant to them. Their overall reaction was extremely positive and each of them said that they would, without a doubt, return next summer to do it again.
