The Value of an ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Student
Recruiting ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students means recruiting some of Atlanta’s most talented thinkers and doers.Ìý
OU students have participated in an intentionally designed sequence of courses called the CORE. OU students know how to relate concepts and ideas, even when complex. They are critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and are prepared to motivate people and lead initiatives.Ìý
"Welcoming students into our Chick-fil-A offices and sharing how my ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø experience shaped the way I think, communicate, and lead was incredibly meaningful. From critical thinking and relationship-building to adaptability and service, so much of what I learned at OU continues to show up in my career every day."
