Morrill Scholars Early Arrival Program

Program Description

The Morrill Scholars Early Arrival Program (MSEAP) is designed to assist Morrill Scholars in their transition to The Ohio State University. Students will move into their residence hall prior to the Autumn Semester move-in day. They will have the opportunity to meet other first year Morrill Scholars and students involved with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) programs as well as ODI staff members. The Early Arrival Program is an opportunity to live, study, learn and begin to develop a sense of community and richness within this cohort. You will discover what it means to be change agents for diversity and inclusion within the classroom, residence halls, and the Ohio State community.
