Oxbridge Academic Programs' Activities Directors provide exceptional extracurricular experiences for every student on our summer programs in Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City. They build much of the program's activities calendar, based on their knowledge of the university and the area in which it is set. Activities Directors must also be able to work as part of a team to form the welcoming atmosphere that defines an Oxbridge program office and to act as role models to whom our students aspire.
