OSUWelcome 2023 is one part of the official onboarding for new transfer students. You likely attended START over the summer, and OSUWelcome 2023 is a continuation of orienting you to the Corvallis campus and your peers.
By attending events during OSUWelcome 2023, you’ll meet fellow new students, connect with your college, and learn more about our Corvallis campus resources. The more events you attend, the more you will be entered into a raffle to win some great OSU things!
Transfer students are highly encouraged to attend and participate! While all events are typically open to all new students, we wanted to highlight a few key events to welcome transfer students! These events are also listed on OSUWelcome 2023, along with the OSU Events Calendar – but we added more context for a few events that may differ from the other announcements.
These events are geared toward all incoming students, and we expect you to attend, too. You’ll notice the dates offered are before the first day of class. If you’re moving to Corvallis, please aim to arrive in time for you to attend and participate in these events.
