The Fostering Achievement Network Early Arrival Program is coordinated by the Fostering Achievement Network (FAN) Campus C.O.R.E. (Community of Resources for Excellence) within the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. The FAN EAP is a three-day in-person program for incoming students to the Columbus campus. The EAP prepares students for transitioning to the Ohio State Columbus campus by providing educational and resourceful workshops, engaging presentations, and team-building activities before the start of the school year. Further, it is the expectation that FAN EAP participants will become a part of the FAN Scholars Program and fully participate in FAN activities in their first year.
The FAN EAP is only available for registered FAN scholars who are starting at The Ohio State University Autumn semester, and scholars with special circumstances.
Registration for the FAN EAP will open February 1. Check back then to register.
