Thank you for your interest in the 2008 New Student Orientation Program (NSOP). NSOP 2008 will welcome over 2,100 new students and their families to Columbia and Barnard. It will also introduce them to each other and to all that the University community has to offer. However, orientation doesn’t happen by itself; it is the product of the leadership and energy of nearly 300 Orientation Leaders, Crew Chiefs, and committee members. The commitment and enthusiasm of the NSOP staff is at the heart of the success of every orientation program.
