Proposal: ORU Summer Mission Teams - 100 Hour Accelerators in 5G Cities

Dear Provost Kathleen Reid Martinez,

We propose an innovative summer mission program for Oral Roberts University students, leveraging our global alumni network and cutting-edge learning methodologies. This initiative aims to conduct 100-hour accelerators across multiple time and talent zones in 5G cities where our former students currently reside.

Program Overview:

• Duration: 100 hours per accelerator
• Location: 5G cities worldwide with ORU alumni presence
• Participants: Current ORU students and local participants
• Framework: Self-organised learning environments (SOLE) with challenge-based agility

Key Objectives:

• Empower students to discover their unique genius through biblical modalities
• Foster self-mastery in Christ through the lens of biblical archetypes
• Develop challenge-based agility skills for real-world problem-solving
• Strengthen global connections between current students and alumni
• Document and achieve goals aligned with ORU's meta-narrative of student enrichment

Implementation Strategy:

1. Alumni Engagement: Identify and partner with ORU alumni in 5G cities for local support and mentorship
2. Curriculum Design: Develop a flexible, modality-based curriculum that adapts to various cultural contexts
3. Technology Integration: Utilize 5G capabilities for enhanced virtual collaboration and real-time problem-solving
4. Assessment Framework: Implement a robust system to document and evaluate student growth and project outcomes
