Partnerships New Student Orientation is committed to providing leadership in the development of a cooperative effort among the independent orienting initiatives of the university's undergraduate academic and student support programs. The assistance and cooperation that we receive from our campus partners help to ensure that students will be exposed to broad educational opportunities and will successfully integrate into the life of the institution. New Student Orientation coordinates efforts with all colleges and academic units to ensure that students become acquainted with academic and co-curricular opportunities at NC State University. This collaboration allows students to be exposed to exciting and diverse academic opportunities that are pertinent to a student’s success. The Division of Undergraduate Academic Programs contributes to the mission of New Student Orientation. This organization is in the unique position to provide an optimal learning and teaching environment for students. This partnership with Cooperative Education, Undergraduate Research, Undergraduate Tutorial Center, University Honors, and Advising Central has provided and maintained a collective effort to provide intellectual, cultural, and social perspectives to all new students. Undergraduate Admissions works closely with our office to ensure that students find their transition from prospective student to first year student a seamless process. The Office of Information Technology plays a vital role in the success and transition of incoming students at NC State University. Each year, New Student Orientation shares the responsibility of exposing students to the virtual realities of the University’s computing networks and resources. This partnership ensures that students are aware of the state-of the art technology across campus and the responsibilities associated with it. The Department of Counselor Education has been a long time partner of New Student Orientation. This department sponsors the ECD 223 course that all student counselors must successfully complete in order to work with incoming students each year. The integration of teaching and technology in the course curriculum signifies the importance placed on undergraduate education. The Office of Diversity and African American Affairs has assisted New Student Orientation in advocating and communicating that diversity is at the core of the University’s academic mission. Their participation ensures that a comprehensive range of academic, cultural, and social disciplines are included in all orientation programs.
