August 24-27, 2013
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. NSO is highly encouraged for all new traditional students to attend. Please be sure to RSVP online!
* Events specifically for family and friends.
