about pave
The Program for Academic Vision & Empowerment (PAVE) was designed to support and empower students with the skills needed to excel in college and beyond. Students are admitted to PAVE who have not fully met ORU’s admission requirements but are identified as being able to handle the rigors of college. Through PAVE, students cultivate habits, skills and qualities needed to realize their full potential.
