What's FORTE? It's Oregon State's academic orientation event for all new undergrads to support their transition into OSU's learning environment. If you're a new first-year or transfer student starting at OSU in winter 2026, you'll attend FORTE on Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 5:30 p.m. in Milam 026. 

During FORTE, you'll engage in an 80-minute keynote session that includes a student panel and key success strategies to support your academic onboarding to OSU.
