Resources for college success
We want to see you succeed. To support you, our college and the university offer resources ranging from Student Success Workshops to Affinity Groups.
Our goal is to support you
The College of Education and Human Ecology focuses on enhancing your academic study skills and overall academic performance. If you need academic assistance, our retention specialist will provide proactive outreach and support.
If you’re looking for help, check out the following offerings. Support may be in the form of campus updates, college updates, advice about study skills, referral to financial resources, campus resources and more. It all depends on your situation.
We want you to become the best version of yourself while in college.
Student Success Workshops
These workshops are offered once a month throughout the academic year. We help you develop and enhance your study skills to maximize your efficiency.
At these workshops, you will learn about time management, organization, note-taking, tackling exams, combatting test anxiety and procrastination and more.
EHE Hangouts
EHE Hangouts provide academic support with the intent to increase student engagement with the college, to improve student retention and to create a sense of belonging and pride in the College of Education and Human Ecology. These groups will also have students interacting and networking with various EHE staff and faculty to build lifelong professional relationships that will hopefully prepare them to succeed in the workforce. Lastly, EHE Hangouts are for students to come together to form a tight-knit community with their peers and to build and establish a support system while in college.
To learn more about these EHE Hangouts and when they will be meeting throughout the academic year, please check out the EHE newsletter that is sent out monthly or email Brandon Hines at hines.383@osu.edu for more information. These groups are open to all students.
