Orientation Programs

Throughout the summer, new students will have opportunities to learn more about the Wentworth community through in-person and virtual experiences. 

New Student Orientation (NSO)

During NSO, students will review their fall semester class schedule, meet staff and administrators, learn about opportunities and resources on campus, and make connections with their fellow incoming students. A team of Orientation Leaders will guide students throughout their time on campus. New Student Orientation is required of all new students.
