Morrill Scholars Early Arrival Program

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.

• Meet other Morrill Scholars to share Ohio State traditions and experiences
• Adjust to the campus and the surrounding community before classes begin through social activities
• Identify ways to engage in ODI-specific opportunities
• Participate in workshops about diversity and inclusion, student involvement, and extracurricular activities

• Incoming Morrill Scholars who have paid the acceptance fee by the May 1st deadline
• Morrill Scholars who plan to attend Ohio State during Autumn Semester 2024
• Morrill Scholars who are not participating in any other Early Arrival Programs
