New Student Orientation (NSO) is William Jessup University's way of welcoming new students and their families into our community. Through a variety of activities, games, and success workshops students will begin to build relationships, familiarize themselves with the campus, and feel a part of the WJU family.
Discover Community
Find out why we're passionate about WJU, learn about the buildings and services that are here for you, and most importantly, meet your Jessup staff and fellow students.
Develop Friendships
Build relationships that will last a lifetime and provide needed support for the tougher moments in life.
"When I was in NSO it was a great help to have people who cared about how well I acclimated. All of the Orientation Assistants were really great in welcoming me and making me comfortable." Jeremy Beaumont- Transfer Student
"New Student Orientation was a wonderful opportunity to get to know people under comfortable circumstances while making memories." Rachel Williams - First-time Freshman
"I would like to help other students feel welcomed in the same way I was when I first came to WJU. I desire to make a difference in the lives of my fellow students." Kaela Gottilieb- Orientation Assistant
Engage WJU
All new students enrolled in six or more units are required to be involved in a welcome dinner, worship, community service project, and a variety of other activities designed to help new students feel welcomed and acclimated to the WJU community.
