O.U.R. is a week long orientation program that runs concurrently with Week Of Welcome (WOW) specially designed to meet the needs of minority students by providing them with a comfortable environment, and surrounding them with similar people who come from a diverse or culturally enriched back ground.

  We work with W.O.W. on many academic and financial presentations and new student informationals. We also make a special effort to insure you become familiar with the different departments on campus and become aware of the vast resources and great people available to you. We'll help you take care of those pre-school responsibilities in order to get you ready for college life and that first day of school.

  We also realize that relationships with colleagues are crucial to insuring a successful experience here at Cal Poly where we are faced with diversity issues. OUR is designed to let you interact with many new students as well as current students, and allows you to build those friendships that often times last through out college and beyond.

  We realize that, in our culture, parents play a very important role. That is why we work with WOW to provide bilingual parent workshops which will inform them on what to expect from you, and shows them the studentfs point of view. We are also readily available to answer any questions your parents might have.

The price of OUR is only $85 for students with a campus meal plan and $100 for students with out a campus meal plan, which includes meals, transportation, and cost of any other activities.
