Programs

As part of our mission to improve the flourishing of OU students and to advance the science of virtue, we manage activities and programs in four main areas.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS

This area includes programs that introduce OU freshmen to the OU virtues, help them reflect on how the virtues apply to their own lives as students and young citizens, and encourage them to cultivate the virtues within themselves. Learn more
