Each year leading into the start of autumn semester, the Office of Student Life, Diversity and Inclusion in conjunction with other campus departments and Ohio State hosts a series of fun and engaging events to allow new freshmen and returning Buckeyes the opportunity to get to know fellow Buckeyes and the campus community as a whole a little better.
Engaged Buckeyes are more successful and grow faster as students and global citizens. Take advantage of as many options to get involved on campus as your schedule allows. You will find college is a more rewarding and enriching experience.
Below are a list of Ohio State Marion events from Freshman Welcome Day & Convocation through our August 29th campus blood drive.
