The Division's first New Student Orientation will be held tomorrow. This is the first event at which our incoming class will be on campus as NMSU students!

Students and their families are a key audience for the Division. These events are important opportunities for learning about how to succeed at NMSU.

Students will participate in a 3-hour orientation in small groups headed by Student Orientation Leaders. They will also get ID cards, register, be advised, and take their first steps toward becoming an Aggie.  read more »
