OSUWelcome is an exciting collection of activities and events that help you connect and engage with campus. There are events that will entertain you, events that share tips and strategies for success, and events that help you get to know resources and campus.
During weeks 2 and 3, we will be hosting small group conversations lead by faculty members and student leaders to give the chance for new students to meet one another and debrief the start of term. If you have any questions, or would like to learn more about certain resources or opportunities, this is a great place to ask! Choose the best day and time for you here!
Are you enjoying your classes? Are certain aspects of college life more difficult than you'd expected? We want to know! During weeks 3 and 4, Senior START Leaders will be reaching out to new students via telephone to check-in and see how everything is going. If you have any questions, or need help figuring things out, we will help you find your groove as we start to get ready for midterms.
