Western Oregon University’s Destination Western Program Kicks Off

Posted on September 16, 2024

MONMOUTH, Ore. – Western Oregon University’s 2024 Destination Western Program starts September 11 through September 20.

Destination Western is an all-expenses paid ten-day residential bridge orientation program designed to help new students build the skills needed to succeed in college-level writing and math as well as connect them socially. Students will participate in academic sessions throughout the program in small groups, and in academic activities, workshops, and social events.

“We are thrilled to embark on our fourth year of Destination Western! This year we welcome 160 new wolves committed to hitting the ground running and investing in themselves to be as successful as they can be during their time at WOU. I can’t wait to feel their energy on campus as they learn to call this special place home,” said Megan Habermann-Guthrie, Director of New Student & Family Programs.

There are several benefits to participating in the program. Those taking part in Destination Western live in the residence halls with other participants, have the chance to make friends and create their WOU community, meet faculty and staff dedicated to student success, learn to navigate the campus before the fall term starts, get early access to academic and campus resources, and receive free on-campus housing and meals throughout the experience.
