Dear Penn Staff, Faculty & Campus Partners,
As our office eagerly prepares for the return to campus, we wanted to reach out to you to see if you would like to be involved with with New Student Orientation (NSO) and/or our inaugural Second-Year Orientation (SYO).
If you aren't already familiar with them, Preceptorials are informal, non-credit, conference-style seminars which offer a unique way for new students to take a closer look at the cultural, social, and intellectual environment at Penn. View some of our archived Preceptorials on our YouTube Channel!
We hope you will consider hosting a Preceptorial to enrich the orientation experience for both the Class of 2024 & Class of 2025!
Scroll below to learn more about this opportunity and as always, feel free to reach out to us as provost-nso-ai@pobox.upenn.edu with questions!
NSO & SYO Preceptorials
Host a Preceptorial!
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with Penn students! See below for some of the guidelines for 2021 Preceptorials.
• They can be hosted by many members of the Penn community including faculty, staff, resource centers, and/or departments.
• NSO Preceptorials are primarily delivered in-person, on-campus with the option to pre-record or host virtually.
• This year, we are offering Preceptorials to first-year students during New Student Orientation (NSO) on Saturday, August 28 from 11am-2pm.
• For the first time ever, we also are offering Preceptorials to second-year students during our inaugural Second-Year Orientation (SYO) on Monday, August 30 from 11am-4pm.
• Our staff will manage the advertising, registration (if applicable), and video archival process so that hosts can focus on delivering the content of their session(s)
• Our Preceptorial catalog is updated daily on our website and sent to students via email during NSO & SYO.
• Information about how to host a Preceptorial in the fall semester will be released shortly.
• Visit our website to learn more about how to get involved in NSO 2021.
