Leadership
Freshman Summer Institute
FSI is a three-day intensive leadership program for incoming ODU freshmen held during the summer. FSI builds on the leadership skills of our new students and provides them with a jump-start to becoming acclimated to campus. The students participate in meals with faculty, staff and current leaders, a hands-on service project and many leadership experiences.
At the end of this program students will:
- Establish an academic and involvement goal
- Be more self aware of their personality preferences
- Develop skills to be able to successful work in groups and teams
- Be aware of involvement and leadership opportunities
- Be exposed to the Social Change Model of Leadership Development
The 2013 summer sessions of FSI will be:
Friday, July 12 - Sunday, July 14, 2013
Friday, July 19 - Sunday, July 21, 2013
Friday, July 26 - Sunday, July 28, 2013
