Finding Connections on Campus

Finding friends and making connections are an integral part of your collegiate experience. Research has shown that students who feel a strong sense of belonging i.e. feel welcomed, accepted, and valued for who they are, tend to perform better academically, report higher levels of well-being, and have higher levels of motivation. 

There are several ways you can make new friends and connections at OSU:

  • Join a student organization (or start a new one) - Look to the left for student organizations affliated with CFAES
  • Attend campus events (CFAES Back-to-School Bash, OUAB sponsored events)
  • Talk to your classmates
  • Attend sporting events
