"We've had folks out on the quad helping students navigate the campus. It's exciting but sometimes nerve-wracking to figure out where all your classes are, and who to talk to when you have a question," said Dr. Margaret Young, dean and director at Ohio State Lima. "These events, including this one, are an opportunity to help students get connected and feel like they’re part of this community."

Ohio State Lima will be celebrating its 65th year of classes this fall.
