Fall 2016 New Student Orientation

NSO exists to help and support new students as they transition into the HIU community. A number of activities and seminars are planned to prepare new students for their experience at Hope by exposing them to educational opportunities, helping them develop quality relationships, and encouraging them to access campus resources.

Orientation is also the time for new students to celebrate as they take this next step, receive instruction and guidance as they transition into the Hope community, including academic advisement in preparation for registration, and much more. NSO is a part of the department of Student Affairs which strives to provide holistic support for students to grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually.

I AM HOPE, the theme for New Student Orientation this year is based off of Jeremiah 29:11:"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future". We understand that the transition to college can sometimes be scary and hard, but it is also exciting and full of fun adventures. We also know that we have a God that is bigger than all of it and He has gone before us and prepared the way. Our hope is that through this transition and change you will remain strong in the Lord. We are constantly praying for you and your time at HIU!
