Overview
The New Student Orientation (NSO) program seeks to connect students with their identity as Trinity Bantams. The program equips students with the tools needed to engage within the Trinity community, which values the connection between peers, self, and space.
The New Student Orientation (NSO) program will:
- Connect students to campus resources through a series of programs focused on community, academics, health and wellness, and traditions.
- Help students establish a strong Trinity identity, nurture connections through orientation groups, and truly connect them to the idea of “What it means to be a Bantam”.
- Offer various opportunities through Pre-Orientation and Orientation NEXT for students to engage with campus partners who will help them discover the intersectionalities of being a Bantam and beginning their collegiate career.
The New Student Orientation (NSO) program will provide an opportunity for all new students:
- To acquire the same quality of shared information
- To further broaden and explore the intersectionality of their identity and interests through the Pre-Orientation and Orientation NEXT programs
- To participate and explore in the diversity and intercultural nature of our Trinity and Hartford communities
