Twenty-four McKendree University upperclassmen served as New Student Orientation (NSO) leaders or UNI 101 peer mentors during the week of August 17-21. NSO leaders are upperclassmen who help introduce first-year students to life at McKendree. These leaders oversee small groups of new students and lead fun social activities, educational programs and volunteer service to prepare and inspire the incoming students to experience a rich, successful first year as a college student. UNI 101 peer mentors share a passion for serving McKendree's first-year students and partner with instructors during University 101 classes held throughout the semester. These classes help make the transition period from high school to college life as smooth as possible.
