Fall 2012 New Student Orientation August 25-28, 2012.
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 note activities marked with an asterisk are activities that family and friends are encouraged to attend.
