New Aggie News

Making the Most of Your NSC

SPENCER GOSMANO ’22

Orientation Team Leader | Finance major

Coming into my own New Student Conference just a couple of summers ago, I was terrified. Of what exactly? That’s something I still don’t have the answer to. Both my mother and my father are the class of 1993, and I practically grew up at either Olsen Field or Kyle Field. In spite of the fact that I lived just a short 75 minutes from Aggieland, I was still stressed about entering this new phase of life, which began with my NSC. I was terrified that if I missed one single detail throughout the course of my conference, it would invariably derail the next 4 years of my life (that’s not the case). Here are a couple of pro tips to be successful at your New Student Conference, from someone who has been closely involved with them.

The organization I joined has completely shaped my college experience and transformed me as a leader. I have invested three years and currently am serving as the Chair of the organization. Throughout my journey, I have learned how to communicate with different people and lead a team of very unique personalities, developed presentation skills, and gained lifelong friends that have made my college experience amazing.

Getting involved was something that was encouraged from the time I went to my New Student Conference all the way up to MSC Open House. MSC Open House is the time where most of the student organizations gather throughout the Memorial Student Center and have tables to give you more information about how to join their particular group. The week after MSC Open House most organizations have an informational to give you more information about the organization and the member intake process.
