HOWL New Student Orientation

New students kick off their NSU journey at HOWL New Student Orientation (Helping Our Wolves Learn), our signature summer orientation program! You'll connect with future classmates and orientation leaders, discover key campus resources, meet faculty and staff, and — most importantly — have fun! While you're diving into the student experience, your parents, families and supporters will participate in a dedicated program designed to help them support you every step of the way.

For questions about HOWL or your orientation schedule, reach out to the Director of New Student and Engagement Programs Alison Kuch at alison.kuch@northern.edu. Your admissions counselor is also here to help with general enrollment questions, and you can contact them directly or email admissions at admissions@northern.edu.
