Fall 2010 New Student Orientation August 21-24, 2010.
New Student Orientation (NSO) is William Jessup University's way of welcoming all new students and their families to our community. Through a variety of activities, games, and informational workshops students will begin to build relationships, familiarize themselves with the campus, and feel like a part of the WJU family. We believe that NSO is an integral part of students getting a solid start to their college experience and this is why we have dedicated their first four days on campus to this experience. Please RSVP for all events you and your family plan to attend!
**Please note activities marked with an asterisk are activities that family and friends are encouraged to attend.
