New Student & Parent Programs New Student & Family Orientation and Week of Welcome – THANK YOU! This past summer NSFP quickly flipped, with the help of so many fantastic colleagues across campus, to 16 orientation sessions, hosting 5,495 students and 3,354 family members. As Orientation came to a close, our Tar Heel Beginnings Board and many campus departments, faculty, student organizations, and more came together to contribute to on-campus and virtual opportunities to welcome our Tar Heels to Fall 2020 (more than 150 programs!). None of this would have been possible without the support and expertise of you all – thank you!
