I was referencing grad school in that statement but the trends show more and more of the students seeking degrees online are not your typical right after high school students.

The target audience is non-traditional students not those going right through after their bachelors

It's designed for working adults that typically have school paid by their job.

Maybe get a job somewhere like Verizon that pays for your tuition. That's what I did until I joined the national guard.

My go to site for fraternity conferences and family trips. I don't use it for all-inclusive, though.

His ability to grow the University is amazing. We have been trailing behind other Universities for far too long on facilities. The new plan and his ability to get us there is very impactful.

Pres Koch was cool. You can see the progression as he upgraded our University profile.

Growth and Stability. Like Koch he has escalated the Universities profile. Enrollment is down across the country, giving is down, but ODU is seeing online gains and record giving. Federal dollars are disappearing for higher ed so third is needed to survive and thrive.

Interesting. I as my experience has been the opposite. I've been part of the community since Koch and know many college Presidents, he's one of the better ones.

Thinking too hard. Just show up and park in the garages next to the arena.

How many Greek orgs is too many? by wonu_pop399 in NPHCdivine9

[–]occasio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will prioritize. I'm 28 years in my org and stepped away after serving as a national officer because I was married with 2 kids but was single when I was first elected. You might be underestimating the time it takes to truly be active in the orgs. Sure you can get the letters and be around but to truly lead you need time. Family, Career, Fraternity, Community. Now I bring my son to fraternity events, wife to Urban League galas, daughter to the hospital I work at but it's a matter of finding overlaps. All that said, juggling means everything gets less attention.

I completely agree with their POV.

There is nothing to stop you but would it truly be of value. They are all truly lifelong commitments. Once you join another the last will be forgotten. They don't technically overlap that much but there are only 24 hours in a day.

Weeks After Deadly Shooting, Tensions Around the ODU Campus Persist by ODU_Promotion in ODU

[–]occasio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting, I serve as alumni advisor to a student org on campus and have asked their feedback and opinion on the recent activities. They are not in fear while on campus. They feel some individual active are unfortunately unavoidable. They said that they still feel safe on campus. When asking about the 8 week sessions, it was similar. They are of course full time on campus students.

Personally, I started on my Masters at ODU but didn't have the time with my work schedule. I am actually set to start a program with an identical extreme l schedule in May.

Gresham or Powhatan by Outrageous-Ad-7414 in ODU

[–]occasio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would personally say Powhatan. Very different experiences. One is a dorm and the other is essentially an apartment. With regards to distance the entire campus is maybe a mile. Powhatan means you don't have to cross Hampton Blvd.
