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, faculty, and fellow students. You will also learn about ways to get involved on campus such as student activties, outreach events, and other great opportunities to meet people and build life long friendships.
"New Student Orientation (NSO) is an exciting weekend of adventures, full of opportunities for making friends and exploring the campus and surrounding area." - Dominique Talley, Orientation Coordinator, 2011-2013
Develop Friendships
During NSO, you will meet people that will become your friends for the rest of your life. By creating enjoyable memories, and lasting bonds, these life long friendships will be the people you turn to during the hardest times, and want to hang-out with during the fun times.
"NSO is the time where everything and everyone is new. I learned that if you 'be yourself' then you'll find the right people. It really is the best start to a new beginning." - Drew Bell, Orientation Coordinator, 2011-2013
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 a part of the Jessup community.
Members of Student leadership will be helping coordinate programs, share personal college experiences, and offer personal advising.
Please remember to RSVP for Orientation.
