Social, Wellness, Student Life
There is more to graduate school than the pursuit of an advanced degree.
Network and socialize with fellow graduate students, including those from outside your field. Engage in a pursuit that you find challenging or gives back to the community. Take care of yourself physically and emotionally.
Graduate Students are invited to participate in the Graduate School's Spring 2021 Physically Distant but Socially Connected campaign to help share your story, provide insight to other students, and create a resource that can be shared to show that even when physically distant you can socially connect and celebrate the resiliency and innovation as graduate students as Ohio State.
