The Retention Initiative for Student Excellence (RISE) Program...

is designed to assist first year students transition from high school to Oklahoma State University. Primarily focused on addressing all of the academic issues that might challenge students, the RISE program is also attentive to the variety of social and financial challenges that these students often face. Some of the services this program provides to students are

* connecting them with mentors
* scheduled study group sessions
* one on one tutoring as needed
* opportunities to serve in leadership roles
* a number of social activities

Our goal is for all RISE students to end their first year of academic work at OSU with no less than a 3.0 grade point average. The RISE Program is designed for Excellence. Our expectations are high and our commitment is deep. We believe that each student that enters OSU has the ability to succeed. These principles and beliefs guide the program and help build a foundation on which RISE students will achieve excellence at Oklahoma State University.
