"NSOCO was the perfect way to start college - my entire experience has been affected by that initial program. It helped shape my growing life at Willamette by introducing me to some of my closest friends and showing me that there are so many opportunities here and in the community for us. Starting school knowing we had started the transition process early and were going in with an intimate group to support us from the beginning was great (and so important!)." Lauren Greenwell '12

NSOCO is a great way to make connections as you transition into this exciting time in your life! This program provides students with the opportunity to engage in direct service in the Salem community, explore various social justice issues, and meet other new students with similar interests. Caring, fun-loving leaders answer your questions about the first year at Willamette and work to make NSOCO an outstanding experience. A typical day of NSOCO consists of improving the environment, feeding hungry families and reaching out to youth in need. You'll participate in a unique tour of Willamette, get to know Salem better, and share evening social time with the other students in the Jump Start program. The program fee includes all transportation, meals, great accommodations, fun surprises and a souvenir T-shirt. Join us as we build community with each other and the Salem area while living out Willamette University's motto, "Not unto ourselves alone are we born."
