New Student Programs

New student on campus? Just getting acclimated to Rutgers-Newark? Want to experience first-hand our campus culture and learn about all the campus resources?  

That is what our new student programs are geared towards - helping you further become a part of our campus community.  

We host programs that build upon the foundation set at Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (SOAR) to further enable, grow and empower students to positively acclimate to the campus and embrace the culture of our student leaders. 

The Office of New Student and Family Programs designs and oversees first-year experience event, enabling new students to discover campus resources, foster relationships, develop leadership skills, and engage with the campus community.  We support the Transfer Students Organization (TSO) in building a community at Rutgers University - Newark. Additionally, we assist students' families through Family Orientation and various family programming initiatives.

Through my involvement in The Office Of New Student and Family Programs while mentoring the students, I have been learning many new skills that provide me with a very good opportunity to grow as a human being and learn new life skills everyday, which I’m sure will be helpful in my coming future.
