Transcript of OSU Grandparent University 2015 Brochure

Bridge the generation gap and enjoy three unforgettable days with your grandchild(ren) at Grandparent University.

Children and grandparents learn side by side while getting a taste of the OSU experience at Grandparent University.

Get to know your fellow participants with a fun lunch, tour the OSU Museum of Art and create your own art pieces as well as swim Wednesday evening. Thursday begins with an exciting orientation class. Following lunch, participants divide into their selected “majors” for fun, interactive learning.

All enjoy a spirited tailgate dinner Thursday evening with Hideaway Pizza. Afterward, children and grandparents can participate in evening activities or return to the residence halls. Classes conclude Friday morning and are followed by lunch and a graduation ceremony.

While most activities at Grandparent University are not physically demanding, there may be quite a bit of walking between venues for some majors.

ELIGIBILITY Grandparent University is one of the many benefits of being a member of the OSU Alumni Association. To participate, a child must be between the ages of 7 and 13 and registered in the Legacy program under a parent or grandparent who is an active member of the OSU Alumni Association. These registered legacies are then eligible to bring their grandparent(s), great-aunt or great-uncle or grandparent figure. Parents are not eligible to come with legacies.

ENROLLMENT PROCESS NOTICE THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS FOR 2015! Grandparent University is a wonderfully popular program with OSU alumni and legacies. Because of GPU’s success, a lottery system will determine admittance and major placement.

We encourage applicants to be open minded when listing their majors in preference order; please list ALL majors you are willing to attend, and place a “0” next to each major you are not willing to attend. Grandparent University is expected to sell out quickly.

ENROLLMENT DEADLINE All applications for enrollment must be submitted online at orangeconnection.org/GPU by April 1 at 5 p.m. The online application requires: contact name, contact daytime phone number, contact email, number of groups in your family that will be attending (one group per major), names and ages in each group and selected majors in order of preference. All online applications will get an application number and be placed into the lottery. Each family will be placed in majors

according to the order of drawing; we can’t guarantee that multiple family groups will be assigned to the same major. We will announce the application numbers that have been assigned to each major on April 6 starting at 9 a.m. at orangeconnection.org/gpu. You will receive an email with your assigned major and a link to complete your enrollmentonline.

Enrollees who are drawn after their preferred majors are already full will be notified via email that their application could not be fulfilled. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU LIST EVERY MAJOR YOU ARE WILLING TO ATTEND ON YOUR APPLICATION.

COST The cost is $240 per grandparent and $170 per grandchild, which includes Wednesday and Thursday nights’ lodging with bed linens, instruction, all activities, T-shirt, class materials, transportation and five meals during your visit. There will be an option on your enrollment to purchase lunch for Wednesday. The cost is $215 per grandparent and $145 per grandchild for check-ins arriving Thursday, which include one night’s lodging with bed linens, instruction, all activities, T-shirt, class materials, transportation and four meals during your visit. There is an additional fee of $30 per attendee for participating in the Aviation major.

CHOOSING A MAJOR Expert faculty, staff and students from across the OSU campus provide instruction for Grandparent University. Majors are limited and assigned on a first-drawn, first-served basis through the enrollment lottery. Children must enroll with and be accompanied by an adult at all times. All majors are designed to be appealing to both Cowboys and Cowgirls. However, some majors have been designed with age-specific requirements, and Aviation has an additional fee associated to cover the extra expense.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Physical activity levels vary among majors, so please choose a major that best suits your physical needs.

Questions? If you have any concerns or special needs, contact Melisa Parkerson at [email protected] or call 405-744-5368.

We cannot guarantee accommodations can be made if you are not able to meet the listed physical activity level.

Low — Mostly seated activities in a classroom or laboratory.

Medium — Some movement and walking required, long periods of standing, possibly in outdoor heat.

High — Significant movement required; may include physical activity outdoors in the heat.

LODGING Rooms have been arranged in suites in OSU residence halls. Children must share a suite with their grandparent(s). If you are bringing more than one family group or if you would like to request specific suitemates, please make note on your enrollment form (after you have been selected in the lottery and placed in your major).

Meals Most meals are included with your enrollment costs. Wednesday’s optional lunch will be served in the heart of campus, and dinner is on your own. We encourage you to explore Stillwater. Breakfast and lunch will be served at an OSU dining facility on Thursday and Friday. Thursday’s dinner will be a pizza tailgate party at the ConocoPhillips OSU Alumni Center.

Parking Parking will be available outside the specified residence halls. Transportation to and from some of the majors will be provided during Grandparent University.
