Planning Your Days
- Required Events: You should attend all required events, put meetings with advisors on your schedule, and choose among the optional events throughout the week. While the week may feel busy, remember to eat, sleep, and give yourself the time you need to transition to your new home. If you have family members accompanying you, plan to say your goodbyes before dinner on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. Please do not make plans with them for the remainder of the week, as you will be occupied with NSO events.
- Event Updates: Updates to events will be posted in the Approaching Stanford course in Canvas.
- NSO Nametag: Please wear your NSO nametag for entry to all events.
- Health & Safety: If you are feeling ill, please stay home.
- Sustainability: Carry your reusable water bottle with you throughout NSO, and look for signs introducing you to sustainability practices around campus.
