FORTE: Academic Onboarding for New-to-OSU Students

What's FORTE? It's OSU's academic orientation event on Monday, September 23, 2024. If you're a new first-year or transfer student starting at OSU in the fall, you attend during the block for your primary college.

During your block, you meet either in LINC or Milam (see location for your college below), engage in an 80-minute keynote session and two 40-minute breakout sessions of your choice.
