Every year new we salute our graduating students and wish them the best! We also welcome our newest members to the NDNU family. I wanted to take a minute and give an awesome recap of Week of Welcome that our newest members of the family got to experience. Every year, the Student Life and LEadership Office puts on Freshman Orientation and Week of Welcome. This years theme was Argo Air: It’s Your Turn to Fly. Week of Welcome is important for all freshman and their parents as it gives everyone insight and experience on this new college life and is an awesome social environment to meet some new friends and have some fun!!!
Every year the Student Life and Leadership office has delivered amazing results and this year was no different! Below are some of the numbers received from this years orientation and some years past:
