Incoming Wharton Undergraduate freshman are introduced to the School with an all-day series of events called New Student Orientation (NSO). It begins with a welcome from administrators and student leaders. Students join their respective cohorts to attend presentations on academics and student life and then enjoy a lunch during which they can settle in to their new surroundings and get to know each other.
We captured some of the fun during Wharton NSO 2014 on August 26, including some candid photographs of welcome lunches, followed by the outdoor event known as “Tuesday Takeover.” On Koo Plaza in Huntsman Hall, first-year Wharton undergrads enjoyed carnival games, ate tasty Philly treats like water ice and socialized some more with their classmates.
