Saints Flight School

 

August 11 -14, 2024

Saints Flight School is a four-day summer enrichment program designed for incoming first-year students that provides the opportunity to experience OLLU in a more intimate setting before the first day of classes. We understand how this transitionary period between high school and college is exhilarating, exciting, and concerning all at the same time. Flight School provides students more time to make new friends, settle in and learn the mission and core values of OLLU, and of course, explore the marvelous attractions of the world-renowned city of San Antonio!  

Benefits

As a Flight School Saint, students will be able to: 

• Connect with other incoming Saints, upper-division peer mentors, and professors to create a sense of community and belonging, and learn the mission and core values of OLLU. 
• Participate in fun, interactive team and confidence-building sessions led by OLLU peer and faculty mentors that will invite you to explore issues of inclusivity, diversity, equity and accessibility. 
• Experience OLLU in a more intimate setting before fall classes begin; gain early access to your residence hall (if living on campus) OR live on campus for a few days to gain the full-immersive college experience at no charge! 
• Explore the marvelous attractions of this world-renowned city with your new classmates.
