New Student Orientation (NSO) includes your student’s first encounter with Nebraska Wesleyan’s special brand of supportive and personal academic advising. They’ll work with an NSO advisor to build a first-semester schedule that incorporates your student’s interests and goals, considers prior education, and aligns with their expected involvement on and off campus.

Please encourage your student to enter NSO ready to talk about their interests and plans, as well as their uncertainties.

We Choose NWU

We’re excited about your student’s decision to attend NWU!

On Friday, April 29, help us celebrate on social media with photos of our newest Prairie Wolves. Using the hashtag #PWolfNation, we ask your student to wear their NWU gear, take a photo in front of something that represents their school, and post a selfie to Instagram.

For each post to Instagram, we’ll add their name to a drawing for a Prairie Wolves Bookstore gift certificate.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram (@newesleyan) and follow #PWolfNation so you can see your student and their new NWU classmates.
