New Student Orientation

New Student Orientation (NSO) at Pacific supports and complements the mission of the institution by preparing new students with the necessary support and information to be successful. NSO programming is student-centered and assists students to begin utilizing campus services, take advantage of educational opportunities and support services, meet academic requirements, and become part of the diverse social and cultural fabric of the Pacific Community. New students are also introduced to Pacific's rich history and traditions at orientation. The Office of New Student and Family Programs at Pacific provides high quality, relevant orientation programming that continues to serve as the first crucial step in supporting student success by: - Providing opportunities for new students to learn about the many programs, services, and facilities available to them at Pacific. - Providing inclusive opportunities for new students, transfer students, and their families to meet each other and form important social connections. - Providing opportunities for new students to establish key connections to Pacific faculty and staff members. - Providing opportunities for new students and their families to reflect on, and prepare for the complex transition ahead, and to support students and families as they navigate these important personal and social changes. - Continuing to systematically review and revise Pacific's orientation programs in response to local and regional conditions and national best practice standards.
