New Student Orientation & Academic Initiatives
Your Transfer NSO Daily Digest
Friday, August 23, 2019
Hello Transfer Students!
Here’s the lineup for Friday. Note that events marked as [M] are mandatory.
For today’s weather, we’re expecting a high of 78° with mostly cloudy skies.
If you have any questions or would like more information about any of the NSO programs, look for our well-trained volunteers, the PHINS, all around campus in light blue and dark blue polos, visit www.nso.upenn.edu or call us at 215-898-7000.
Transfer Mentorship Program
The Transfer Mentorship Program helps incoming transfer students assimilate into the Penn community. By pairing each incoming transfer student with a current student, new transfers will be provided insight on the various academic, extracurricular, and social opportunities that are available at Penn. Mentors are also there to support their transfer mentees throughout the transition process. All incoming transfer students are encouraged to apply. The application takes less than 10 minutes to fill out. Responses will be used to match new students to mentors with similar interests and passions. Also, join our Facebook Group for more updates and events throughout the academic year.
