OSU’s seven cultural centers and programs on campus are just one of the ways that diversity is prized here. The cultural centers provide a welcoming environment and support services for students who share a common identity. They also serve as landmarks that encourage everyone to learn about different cultures, identities and histories.
Your personal well-being and academic success is rooted in healthy connections, both with people and organizations. From cultural organizations to intramural sport to clubs, the options are many. You also have ample resources available to you when a boost of extra support is helpful.
The College of Science strives to promote a healthy student community, especially among first-year students who may be struggling to find their place on campus. OSU offers many resources to help build a healthy community for its students, including outreach programs for a variety of college health issues. Many of the programs target the most common concerns and interests facing college students.
