Student Organization Involvement Fair
Hosted by Student Senate, the annual involvement fair happens on Welcome Weekend. On Aug. 25, from 3:30-5 p.m., more than 300 student organizations line College Green for interested students to pursue and sign up for. The clubs range from Sorority and Fraternity Life to academic clubs to social clubs. Those that partake in the weekend festivities typically get free swag and coupons.
International Street Fair
The International Student Union, or ISU, funds and plans out the week’s events. International Week has been celebrated at Ohio University since 1969 and became a week-long celebration in 1979. The week normally takes place in the latter part of Spring Semester; last year, the week took place from March 31 to April 7, and the fair took place on April 6. The fair takes place on Court Street and celebrates the different cultures on campus. The fair is a favorite among students because of the varied food, music and activities.
BobcatConnect
What was once called OrgSync is now BobcatConnect, and it’s the new platform for OU’s organizations. The Campus Involvement Center is in charge of assisting clubs with SAC funding and member engagement. On the platform, students can scroll through the 596 student organizations listed and find all the information they may need to possibly join.
Tabling
Throughout the year, different organizations will table or reserve a space typically in front of Baker to advertise their events and organizations. Tabling is a good opportunity for students to experience traditional student life in an everyday setting. If you see organizations set up in Baker, don’t be afraid to talk to the members and ask questions.
