Collaborating with Cornell faculty and staff, New Student Programs (NSP) promotes the best possible first-year experience for undergraduate students.

NSP inspires and supports students throughout their crucial first year by:

• Providing an orientation to Cornell and easing the transition to life at the University;
• Encouraging intellectual curiosity, cultural exploration, and informal interactions with faculty;
• Developing programs to promote diversity and inclusiveness; integrity; and a "commitment to freedom, equity, and reason"*;
• Exposing new students to services that support their academic goals, holistic well-being, and life pursuits; and
• Introducing new students’ families to Cornell.
