The UO is committed to a diverse learning environment . UO Connections is a half-day college advocacy program designed for first-generation, ethnically diverse, or economically disadvantaged high school students in ninth through twelfth grades. The program provides valuable college prep information. Multiple Connections dates will be available during the academic year, allowing the UO to keep group sizes small and the overall experience more intimate and meaningful.
Connections is for:
- High school student groups only . If you have a group of students that are not in high school, please complete our group visits form instead of attending Connections. We will create a campus visit that is catered to your vision/request. If you are an individual prospective student or family member, sign up for a campus visit here .
- Schools/groups that can participate in the ENTIRE program . If you are not able to participate in the entire program, please complete our group visits form instead of attending Connections. We will create a campus visit that fits your agenda and preferred dates/times.
Connections Program Goals
- Promote higher education
- Provide significant interaction with current UO students
- Educate high school students about admissions, student support, and financial aid
- Explore student life opportunities on campus
Each program will serve up to 130 students and will last approximately five hours, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. During their visit, Connections visitors will participate in information sessions that focus on admissions, financial aid, academics, and extracurricular activities.
Connections sessions are led by UO staff members and multicultural student ambassadors. Visitors will enjoy lunch at the university, take a tour of our beautiful campus, participate in a student panel, and learn about exciting academic and extracurricular programs with current students and members of the UO campus community.
