Oglethorpe University's
OUr Atlanta program connects first-year
students with many of the world-class
businesses and organizations that call
Atlanta home. OUr Atlanta allows students
the opportunity to experience Atlanta's
arts, athletic, business, research and civic
enterprises while stimulating thoughts of
what the students may in turn offer the
city.
Thanks to the support of our Board of
Trustees, Oglethorpe students have received
access to many of Atlanta's major cultural
and business institutions, including:
Providing these experiences
to our new students underscores Oglethorpe's
vital connection to Atlanta, while bringing
the city to life for our students. These
meaningful and memorable experiences in the
freshmen year will solidify students'
connections to friends of Oglethorpe and to
the city, and they, in turn, will become
ambassadors for all that Oglethorpe and
Atlanta have to offer. When these students
graduate and establish their careers in
Atlanta, as most Oglethorpe alumni do, they
will be leaving college as engaged,
enlivened and contributing citizens of the
community that has welcomed them.
Spring 2007 trips included visits to DeKalb Farmers Market, Underground Atlanta, Stone Mountain Park and The Carter Center.
