Bobcat Student Orientation 2012 for first-year students and transfer students took place from July 12 through Aug. 3 on the Ohio University Athens campus.
Nearly 3,600 first-year students, 300 transfer students and their family members participated in the annual event.
The two-day sessions allow the students to meet with faculty, staff and students before they arrive for the start of fall semester in late August. The sessions also allow incoming students to register for classes, identify opportunities for campus involvement, meet with an academic adviser, visit the residence halls and receive their University student identification card.
Family members are able to tour the campus and meet with representatives from various offices, including Financial Aid, Campus Care, Campus Safety, Residential Housing and Career Services.
The final BSO will be held Aug. 24. The one-day session is targeted for students who were not able to make the first round of sessions. For more information about BSO, click here.
