Klamath Falls S.O.A.R. into Week of Welcome

Oregon Tech’s S.O.A.R. program provides NEW and INCOMING students and their families with experiences that aid in the university transition process; inform students of the supports available to them; opportunities to learn about student involvement and academic success; as well as make connections with other students, faculty and staff."

• Find Support - Sense of Belonging and Resources

Then, our term kicks off with the Week of Welcome each year on the weekend preceding the start of fall term classes. All students join the SIB Team (Student Involvement & Belonging) for daily activities and tons of fun.
