If this is your first quarter as a Buckeye, you've found the right spot for information about Welcome Week! There are more than 100 events during the week for you to pick from, so making some good choices on which ones to do is important. Here are 5 events that we feel like you just should not miss as a first-time Buckeye...
Convocation 2008
Monday, September 22nd -- 10:30am at St. John Arena.
Convocation is a kick-off to your academic career, where you'll hear from a panel of distinguished guests and learn Carmen Ohio, the OSU alma mater. At the end of Convocation, the OSU Marching Band leads the crowd on a traditional walk to the Oval for the next big event!
Student Involvement Fair and President's Picnic
Monday, September 22nd -- 12:00pm on the Oval.
Members of more than 500 OSU student organizations and campus departments, businesses, and community agencies will be around the Oval to share with you a little bit about what they do. This is your first and best opportunity to chat with them and start determining what you're going to get involved with outside of your classes.
Buck-i-Frenzy
Tuesday, September 23rd -- 11am-4pm at the RPAC.
Enjoy five hours of food, friends, and free stuff in and around the RPAC as the Office of Student Life presents the inaugural Buck-i-Frenzy! The Frenzy includes dozens of restaurants and businesses showcasing the latest in food, fashion, technology, products, and services.
Picnic with the Buckeyes and the Columbus Jazz Orchestra
Tuesday, September 23rd -- 5:30pm at the South Oval.
Grab a blanket and some friends and hear your favorite Buckeye Tunes, along with some classic jazz standards, performed by the Columbus Jazz Orchestra at a free concert. Complimentary picnic begins at 5:30 or feel free to bring your own!
Campus Locator Services
Wednesday, September 24th & Thursday, September 25th -- All Day, All Over Campus.
It's no secret that OSU's campus is a big one. It's pretty spread out, and there's absolutely no shame in not knowing exactly how to get to your destination right away. On the first two days of classes, you'll be able to take advantage of Campus Locator Services, hundreds of volunteers clad in bright yellow t-shirts spread out all over campus with maps and good information on getting you where you need to be.
There are dozens more great events for you to choose from during Welcome Week!
