We offer two all-female orientation Odyssey classes. These classes enable new students to become familiar with college resources, and provide an opportunity to network with female professional engineers, faculty, and upper-division students. The classes are part of First Year Experience Program at OSU. You'll meet regularly with about 20 other first-year engineering students as you work with a faculty member and student leader on such issues as academic success, positive relationships with faculty and students, career and academic direction, and shared values of the OSU community. It's a great opportunity to get personal attention and advice from a faculty member and an experienced engineering student.

One section is offered in conjunction with FOOTsteps (Fall Odyssey Outdoor Trips) which is co-sponsored by Dixon Recreation Center and Student Orientation and Retention Programs. You and the other students in your Odyssey class will embark together on either a backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing, or rafting trip in the beautiful Oregon outdoors. You will be accompanied by the faculty and peer leaders for your class as well as experienced trip leaders. It's a great way to jumpstart your life as an engineering student at OSU!

In addition, participants of these classes have first priority in applications to become a Tektronix Scholar.
