Why Attend? How Morning Connection Supports Your Wellbeing
1. Build Genuine Community
College can feel fast‑paced and overwhelming. Morning Connection offers a place to meet peers, form friendships, and expand your campus network in a low‑pressure, inclusive environment.
2. Boost Your Mental and Emotional Health
Talking with others—about successes, challenges, or simply how the week is going—helps reduce stress and strengthens resilience. This space encourages open conversation, reflection, and mutual support.
3. Strengthen Your Self‑Care and Personal Growth
Guided by staff from Buckeye Commons and Counseling and Consultation Service, sessions offer opportunities to:
- Celebrate progress in your academic, personal, and developmental journey
- Talk through obstacles and learn ways to navigate them
- Discuss balance, boundaries, and strategies for caring for yourself
4. Start the Day on a Positive Note
A warm drink, a snack, and a welcoming community can set the tone for the rest of your day. Students often report better focus, mood, and motivation after a grounding, encouraging morning routine.
5. Contribute to the Culture of Care at Ohio State
By participating, you’re helping build a campus culture where students look out for one another. You’ll also learn ways Buckeye Commons and Counseling and Consultation Service can partner with you to bring this Culture of Care into your residence halls, student organizations, classrooms, and the broader Columbus community.
We hope to see you there—just bring yourself.
Come connect, unwind, recharge, and be part of a community that genuinely cares about your wellbeing and success.
