Kickstart your OSU journey at Camp Cowboy

Connect with students and resources on-campus to help smooth the transition into the OSU Community. This is your opportunity to get answers to questions you didn't know you had.

What to expect:

Join fellow first-generation students at this free Camp Cowboy add-on experience. Register for Camp Cowboy during the July 11-12 or July 18-19 camp, then join us a day early for this opportunity, free of charge.

 

Hear from the experts:

• Financial Planning Coaches
• LASSO Center
• Career Services

The Division of Access and Community Impact and Campus Life want to familiarize you with their services, and introduce you to other new-to-OSU students from similar backgrounds. You will participate in small group conversations about what it's like to be a part of the OSU Pokes!
