Learn more about New Student Orientation (NSO), our programs, and our office and why we offer a variety of events to orient and welcome new and transfer students to Rutgers.

Parents and families are a big part of any students success at any university and college. Orientation sessions, Parent & Family Weekend, and the Parent & Family Association are just some of the many ways for family members to get involved at Rutgers.

This summer incoming first–year students packed over 26,000 healthy snack packs for young children in New Brunswick for the Snack Pack Service Project. We would like to thank our partners and sponsors: Major Events and Programs, Rutgers Against Hunger, Affinity Federal Credit Union, Johanna Foods, Rutgers University Programming Association (RUPA) and the Embrace Kids Foundation.

New Student Orientation (NSO) is an important experience for all first year students, regardless of academic affiliation or major.

Being an orientation leader is a tremendous opportunity for smart, hard working, positive students who wish to share their Rutgers Pride with our incoming students and their families.
