Grandparent University
GPU 2010 Review | GPU FAQ's
Since 2003 the OSU Alumni Association has welcomed OSU legacies, ages 7 to 14 and their grandparents to campus for a unique intergenerational learning experience at Grandparent University. This three-day summer camp is a fun-filled experience that actively engages kids in academics at OSU while creating memories for grandparents and their grandchildren.
The legacies will enroll in one of the provided majors. After completing the program they will “graduate” with a certificate in their chosen field. Along with the activities in the classroom, there is time to socialize over swimming at the Colvin Center or cheering at the OSU Tailgate.
Eligibility: Grandparent University is just 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 14 and a legacy. A legacy is a child that is registered under a parent or grandparent who is an active member of the OSU Alumni Association. To make sure your legacy will receive all the benefits of the Legacy program, including Grandparent University, you many want to check Legacy registration and membership status by calling the OSU Alumni Association at 405.744.5368.
Past Participants: Have your grandchildren gotten too old to attend GPU? Do they have different plans this summer and can’t attend? We would love to visit with you.
With GPU expanding to two sessions we need your help. If you have participated in Grandparent University before and would like to volunteer as major host, please contact Melisa Parkerson at 405.744.8711.
