Buckeye Bound
Buckeye Bound is a day-long, comprehensive visit exclusive to students like you who have been admitted to The Ohio State University. In addition to sessions led by the university about campus and student opportunities, SENR will be hosting a Connecting with your College session at the Olentangy River Wetlands Research Park. This experience will offer a chance to learn about opportunities for hands-on learning in SENR, hear from current students, and tour our 52-acre urban research site. Lunch will be provided during the session. In the afternoon, a SENR faculty member will be leading the "Go Green, Go Buckeyes" session to offer insights into potential careers for your major. We hope you will join us for this visit!
