Oxy Elements is a four year class-based program designed to meet the needs of our students as they progress through their college career.  First year students will heat up campus with FYRE programs that help them locate campus resources, build community among themselves, and promote self identity.  Sophomores will cool off with H2O as they explore academic majors and careers while getting a deeper understanding of campus resources such as the Study Abroad Office and the Career Development Center.  Juniors will explore lofty ideas with Wind as they celebrate service and enrichment through off-campus activities and service opportunities.  Lastly, our seniors will be grounded and prepared for the real world with Earth with life skills programs such as health insurance, tax preparation, and gardening.  All of these programs will allow Oxy students to graduate as enriched and complete individuals.
