F1RST2GO focuses on three pillars that contribute to a successful college experience for students.
Academic
Students are assigned a peer mentor who will share about their experience at OSU. Peer mentors have been successful academically and can share what resources they have used to achieve their success.
Engagement
F1RST2GO students attend campus events and will join at least one campus organization to help them feel more at home on campus.
Well-being
F1rst2Go meets regularly to discuss and complete activities focused on students' financial, academic, social, and physical well-being.
- A Campus Life professional dedicated to your success and campus involvement.

First-Gen Network
We have a large and diverse student population at OSU. First-generation students make up about 25% of our student population as a whole.
