National Transfer Student Week celebrates transfer students and those who support them on their journeys.  Every third week of October we will challenge assumptions, build empathy, and instill a deeper transfer pride at OSU!  #TransferStudentWeek 

This year we are moving Full Steam Ahead!  The transfer student journey begins at the first moment of contemplation and lasts through degree/goal completion. Unfortunately, it isn't always a smooth experience, despite our best efforts. This year we are inviting OSU to: 

  • clear the path to transfer success by removing barriers and obstacles and
  • add fuel to students’ journeys by connecting them to tools and supports and empowering them to proceed at their own pace.

 

Events will be added to the schedule below as they are developed.  Continue to check back to see the various ways you can connect with your peers, faculty, and staff throughout the week.
