We show students we CARE.
We help students CONNECT.
We empower students to THRIVE.

THRIVE is OHIOโ€™s student-focused well-being initiative. We understand that no two students or their relationship with well-being are exactly alike, and college life can sometimes be busy and stressful. By providing services, events and programs that show genuine CARE for our students, OHIO encourages every Bobcat to CONNECT with their University community and individualize and prioritize well-being actions, so they can THRIVE.

Care

First, tend to the essentials.

51ยายื cares about its students, and Bobcats care for one another. This is more than lip service or fuzzy feelings: CARE is an action word. Through a broad spectrum of services, support staff, and events, we ensure students basic needs are met, so they can establish a firm foundation of stability on which to build community, balance and overall well-being.

Connect

Investing time and energy into self, others and community.

We believe every student should be given the tools and opportunities to CONNECT with the people, places, and moments that will enrich them now and for life. From joining a social activity or campus organization, heading outside to engage mind, body, and spirit, or simply carving out intentional space in the day for rest and moments of joy, OHIO encourages students to take small, individualized daily steps to prioritize themselves and their communities โ€“ when students are seen, socially engaged and successful, Bobcats THRIVE.
