While START may seem like the perfect time to get information out to new students, it can also be a very overwhelming time for students and their family members as well. Knowing we put a lot of care and thought into our schedule to make sure they are receive the necessary information in order to feel prepared to return in the fall. 

There are two primary way campus partners can be involved in START:

  • Resource and service fair- this is for departments that are offering a direct service or resource for students and/or their family members.  This is not an recruitment fair.  There are opportunities throughout Welcome Week and those first few weeks of classes for recruitment.  
  • Offering an optional workshop to provide an overview- these would be a 40-50 minutes presentation that is offered during optional time on day 2 for both students and family members.

We usually being scheduling those in April.  These options are available for OSU department and units only.
