Bobcat Student Orientation
Bobcat Student Orientation
As a unit of the Office of First-Year & Student Transitions (FYrST), Bobcat Student Orientation (BSO) is responsible for the orientation of all new undergraduate students at Ohio University's Athens campus. Our programs are designed to ensure all students and their families/guests are welcomed, comfortable in their transitions, connected to campus resources and confident in their academic schedules before beginning their first semester.
We strive to create a welcoming environment where students have a sense of belonging and can easily connect to peers, faculty and staff to establish a network of support.
