As this semester-like-no-other begins, it’s important Petrels find ways to stay connected and keep a sense of campus community, whether you’re on or off campus. Here’s a list of how to stay “in the know” at Oglethorpe this semester:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Read the latest. <\/strong>The Source<\/a> website keeps the campus community informed about the latest university news. Plus, the newest Source stories are delivered right to your Oglethorpe email every Thursday. Have friends or family who are interested, too? Anyone can subscribe to these weekly newsletters on the bottom right-hand corner of the Source page!<\/li>\n
  2. Fill your calendar. <\/strong>There are still events happening this semester! Campus Life, clubs and organizations, and academic departments are hard at work planning virtual or socially distanced programs to keep you busy and connected. Submit your events to OU Connect<\/a> so everyone knows about your programs, and keep an eye out for the weekly Sunday email listing campus events for that week! (Pro tip: Follow the Programming Board on\u00a0Instagram,<\/a>\u00a0and keep an eye on their\u00a0OU Connect page<\/a>\u00a0so you don’t miss out on fun events!)<\/li>\n
  3. Be social.<\/strong> Follow 好色先生TV on Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a>, as well as the OglethorpeLife<\/a> Instagram account. Check out the social media directory<\/a> to discover more OU-affiliated social media accounts.<\/li>\n
  4. Get personal. <\/strong>What’s your role on campus—student, faculty, staff? Did you know there are personality profiles in the top right corner of the Oglethorpe website<\/a>? Look for the gray “I am” box to find quick links specially curated for students, faculty and staff, alumni, and parents.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay engaged.<\/strong> Follow Oglethorpe’s Student Government Association<\/a> on Instagram to stay informed about how OU’s student representatives<\/a> are supporting and advocating for students this year.<\/li>\n
  6. Tune in.<\/strong> OU’s YouTube channel<\/a> is packed with all kinds of fun and informative videos! From recorded information sessions<\/a> to student interviews<\/a> to event recordings<\/a>, you can find a plethora of content on the page. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss anything new posted to the channel!<\/li>\n
  7. Up your game.<\/strong> Join a club or organization (like E-sports<\/a>). Choose from a long list — or create your own! There’s still time to make your move–just check out the virtual Student Activity Fair sessions on OU Connect<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  8. Get culture.<\/strong> Although the 好色先生TV Museum of Art (OUMA) is closed for the time being, you can still feel like you’re stepping into this unique part of the campus by taking the virtual tour<\/a>! The OUMA website<\/a> is full of information on upcoming exhibitions, <\/a>videos<\/a> of previous lectures hosted at OUMA, and more! Later in the semester, keep an eye out for a virtual tour of their fall exhibitions, plus online lectures and concerts.<\/li>\n
  9. Take a stroll. <\/strong>Do you miss walking around campus? Do you wish you were doing homework on the patio outside of the Cousins Center? Pretend you’re there (or anywhere) by taking the university’s virtual tour of campus<\/a>!<\/li>\n
  10. Talk to us. <\/strong>Need help with research and resources?<\/em> The library website<\/a> has a new chat feature that makes it easy to ask questions.\u00a0 Having a tough time?<\/em> The Counseling Center<\/a> makes it easier with virtual appointments. Wondering how to build your resume during these strange times?<\/em> Connect with Career Development<\/a> for tips, assistance and mentoring opportunities. Need an academic boost? <\/em>The Student Success Center<\/a> is ready and waiting to help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"author":60,"featured_media":72055,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4558,4551,4552],"tags":[],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-72054","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-culture","category-campus-life","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n10 ways to stay connected during the remote semester!
