SOAR Program
Summer Orientation to Academic Resources
What is the SOAR program?
The Summer Orientation to Academic Resources program is a summer orientation program that incoming SSS freshmen are invited to attend. The goals are: to give participants an orientation to a college environment and provide them with opportunities to connect with other first-generation students; to assist participants in the process of academic exploration by introducing them to relevant resources and challenging them to examine their values and interests; to facilitate participants' transition to a college environment and to track their adjustment through the SSS Student Leadership Program; and to provide parents of the incoming students with an opportunity to ask questions and gain information about their child's academic journey.
Eligible students must meet two requirements: be a first-generation college student; meaning that both parents have not completed a 4-year bachelor's degree, -AND- be an incoming freshmen student to CLU. If you meet these requirements and would like to request information about the SOAR program, please contact the SSS Office at (805) 493-3535 or by email at clusss@callutheran.edu.
