If you’re a new student, what are the benefits of attending FHSS’s New Student Orientation?
1. Learn about different majors
Trying to figure out what to study can be daunting. Taking advantage of NSO to ask various department representatives about their department can help you decide what you want to study.
2. Build connections
Because you are interacting with faculty and department representatives, you will be able to establish a valuable connection early on. The connections you form during your time here will serve you long after you graduate.
3. Meet people with similar interests
You can never have too many friends! Take this opportunity to meet people who are interested in the same things you are. 
4. Get a cookie!
The Dean’s Office table will be giving out cookies. Enough said.
Be sure to stop by the JFSB on September 1st to learn more about the wonderful opportunities offered by the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences!
