Social Sips
The English Conversation Program is partnering with Crimson Cup to host Social Sips on Tuesday, April 24 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. outside of Enarson Classroom Building.
Social Sips is an opportunity to bring campus face to face. It's simple, show up and grab a coffee, tea or hot chocolate, find a partner and talk for five minutes.
The first 50 people to show up will receive a free English Conversation Program mug.
Here are some conversational tips:
Be polite - Introduce yourself in the best way possible
Be curious - Find and celebrate what you have in common
Be pleasant - This isn't a debate, political convention or speed dating
Be attentive - Aim for 50/50 sharing with follow-up questions
The Office of International Affairs would like to invite all graduating students along with friends and families to celebrate graduation on
Friday, May 4, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. The reception will be held in 160 Enarson Classroom Building.
All graduating students will be introduced at the reception and will be given a certificate and the chance to share their future plans and favorite Ohio State memories. If you have a country flag, please bring it to the reception and display it with pride.
A photographer from the Office of International Affairs will also be taking pictures, but guests are welcome to bring cameras as well.
The Office of International Affairs collaborates with the Gateway Film Center to host a monthly international film series. Students have the chance to view films from around the world for free!
April's film will be shown on Wednesday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at the Gateway Film Center and will feature the Italian drama, "Indivisible."
"Indivisible" tells the story of conjoined twins, Daisy and Violet who face the possibility of being surgically separated as they turn 18. Watch the trailer.
Students do not need to register for the event, but plan on coming early because the first 30 students will receive free popcorn and soda! Admission is FREE for students with a BuckID and offered at regular price to the public.

Pack It, Store It or Donate It
Each year Ohio State removes hundreds of abandoned bikes that residents leave over the summer.
Please consider donating your unused bike to Thirdhand.org this year. Residence Life will make available donation forms in the residence halls.
Envelopes will be kept at the front desk of residence halls for students who wish to donate their bikes. Just simply complete the form and return the form to the desk in the envelope.
Thirdhand.org is also a great place to purchase bikes at an affordable price.
