Your Success Team is your personalized ODU support network! From your first interaction with ODU, you'll start building this team, and it will continue to grow throughout your time here. Engaging with your Success Team is key to transitioning to and through ODU!
Your success team should inspire and nurture a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and empowerment! There are three essential branches of your Success Team: Health and Well-Being, Community, and Academic and Career. In Explore Your Kingdom pre-orientation modules, you'll begin building the first version of your Success Team. You'll get to meet some of these key supporters at Discover Your Pride: Monarch Orientation. From there, your team will grow and evolve throughout your time at ODU!
