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.

The 2010 summer sessions of  FSI will be:
Friday, July 23 - Sunday, July 25, 2010
Friday, July 30 - Sunday, August 1, 2010

Mark your calendar now and plan on participating in this exciting session!

The cost for the program is $50, and covers your two nights of on-campus housing, all meals during FSI, activities and all materials.
