What are the benefits of joining LINKS?
The LINKS program provides participants with a built-in supportive community designed to assist their success as a Bobcat. The program provides students with early move-in access, an on-campus welcome program, academic enrichment opportunities, peer mentors, leadership opportunities, and community engagement programs.
What are the benefits of having a LINKS Peer Mentor?
LINKS participants are paired with a returning student mentor and a cohort of other LINKS students. In other words, we will help students find their people, get connected, and build relationships that make the first year at OHIO fun and fulfilling.
What is the LINKS Experiential Living Opportunity?
The LINKS Experiential Living Opportunity is an opt-in opportunity for LINKS students to live together in a residence hall floor. Students will have LINKS members as RAs and be able to connect with each other through the LINKS community.
Priority is given to those who sign-up for LINKS prior to the May 1 deposit deadline.
How can I become a LINKS Peer Mentor?
Peer mentor selection is based on academic merit, leadership potential, service to campus and community, and commitment to engaging all students at OHIO. Peer mentors must also successfully complete an 8-week training course in the spring semester (UC 2900 – Peer Mentor). Applications are available in January for the next academic year.
