Student Arrival
All new students are expected to arrive Friday, August 31, between 8:30 a.m. and noon. Upon arrival, students are required to check in at the registration site, where they will meet their NSO leaders. NSO officially begins with the New Student Assembly at 1:30 p.m. Student meal plans begin that same day with the noon meal. If a student is traveling and wishes to arrive on Thursday evening, August 30, the College has made arrangements for a special rate with the Sheraton Springfield at Monarch Place in downtown Springfield. Further information will be forthcoming.
A Reminder
Your summer reading assignment is My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. Please make sure you have read this book prior to NSO. You will discuss it in your group with faculty members.
