Off-Campus Community Welcome

Each year, the week prior to classes starting, Community Ambassadors, and many other volunteers across the university and city welcome new and returning residents in the University District. The purpose of the meet and greet is to introduce the Community Ambassadors and provide students with essential off-campus living information, as well as information of our office's resources.

The Off-Campus Community Welcome Block Party is held during Welcome Week to introduce neighbors to community and city resources to assist in your time in Columbus. This event is for on-campus, off-campus and commuter students to come together and meet neighbors in the University District in a fun and casual environment! We will also have free food and drinks available for all attendees!

This year, the Communty Welcome Block Party will be held on August 23 from 4 - 6 p.m. at University Square Plaza (corner of 15th Ave & High St). We look forward to seeing you there!
