NSO Testimonials

NSO looks like a blast so check out what these NSO-goers have to say about it!


“I think that NSO is a full blown package of fun and information. It is that time of the year where the weather is perfect, you meet new people, make wonderful friends and learn more about the campus through fun filled activities. It doesn’t matter if you’re an introvert or an extrovert – there is fun for all!”

Sim wants you ALL to sign up for NSO!

-Sim Gupta, 3rd-year Engineering student

Colin loves NSO and so should you!

– Colin Doran, 4th-year Business student

This is Sam, we like Sam

Jose gives NSO two thumbs up!

-Jose Gonzalez, 3rd-year Psychology and Sociology student
