New Student Orientation & Academic Initiatives

Your Exchange NSO Daily Digest

Wednesday, August 21, 2019 

Hello Exchange Students!

Now that you’re moved in, it’s time to really get to know some of your fellow new students with a day full of exchange student events, as well as general NSO welcome events. We hope you have a great time! Events marked as [M] are mandatory.

For today’s weather, we’re expecting partly cloudy skies with a high of 93°.

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.
