Orientation

We want students to start their college career prepared for not only their first year at NMU, but for years to come. Throughout the summer, we are hosting a number of virtual Orientation programs for our students. The program emphasizes integrating new students into the academic and co-curricular life of the institution, and connecting students with the campus community.
