This button will activate on the first day of class.

These courses are structured week to week, from Monday through Sunday. The classes are asynchronous - meaning you can participate when you have time to do so. However, you are encouraged to participate early in the week to keep up on discussions and topics. 

Courses are held on the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS).

 

You must sign up for an OSU Canvas guest account to access the courses. Sign up for a Canvas visitor account here, then let OREI know the social email used to sign up. 

​

You can return to the same Canvas Visitor page and select the email/provider you signed up with to log in. 

NOTE: There is a textbook used for course 1 - Habitudes Book #1: The Art of Self-Leadership, by Tim Elmore

You can find it on Amazon, or Barnes and Noble, or your preferred bookseller. 

FORE101

Foundations of the Outdoor Recreation Economy
7 Modules over 12 Weeks

This introduction to the outdoor economy is the perfect first step for anyone interested in working the outdoors. Explore the industry’s history and its current and potential impact. Topics include employment sectors, policy questions and the industry’s relationship to the environment and public lands.

​

This course is required for the completion of the Leadership certificate, and will take place concurrent to the Leadership program content. As with the leadership courses, you must have a Canvas visitor account to login.

These modules are self-access and self-paced. You can access them at your convenience, and work through them when you have time.

 

There are no time-bound assignments to complete (discussion forums, tests on specific dates, etc), but it is expected that you complete all modules before the end of the cohort program. 

FORE101

Coaching & Mentoring

Throughout the program, a professional coach is available to help dive into the assessments you take, understand your personal perspective on leadership and growth, and help develop a plan of action for success. 

​

Additionally, your industry mentor will help guide the development and execution of your program project. The mentor will give you feedback on your idea, help identify areas for you to stretch and grow, and walk you through the presentation at the end. 

​

You are expected to initiate and maintain contact with your coach and mentor. Read more about expectations and getting started in the introduction module.
