The University Orientation 90th Anniversary Celebration is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on University Orientation and first-year students. Please consider making a $90 gift to commemorate the 90-year history of orientation at Ohio State. Gifts to this fund support FYE programs that help students learn how to navigate the university, get comfortable on campus, challenge themselves and think of Ohio State as home.
Your gift of any size makes a key difference in the first weeks and months of first-year students' Ohio State experiences and lays the foundation for continued educational success. Giving to FYE enhances our programs that support students during their transition to college, contribute to retention, and aid in a student's personal growth and leadership development.
You can make a difference
- $1000 can support Peer Leaders having 100 one-on-one conversations with first-year students.
