Mission Statement
Student Services provides a range of co-curricular programs and services promoting social, personal, and academic well-being.
Introduction
INTO OSU provides a range of services to support students’ language study and enhance their OSU experience. For new students there are several orientation sessions as well as city and campus tours. Students are also given a 24-hour emergency telephone number that can be used to ask for assistance at any time of the day or night. Other student services include a conversation partner program, a tutor program and a wide range of trips, parties and other out of class activities such as movie nights, welcome receptions, and the end of term party. In addition, the student services team helps students connect with campus-wide events such as dances, sports and cultural events.
The American Survival course is a series of weekly one-hour sessions presented by the Student Services team especially for new students. In these sessions students discuss OSU services, health and safety issues, and American culture.
Student Services is based in room 175 in the ILLC.

She can help if students are experiencing concerns or difficulties in or outside of the classroom, are homesick, have questions about a university policy, and much more. She welcomes you to come by if you have concerns about a student, and welcomes students to stop by and talk. Her office is in ILLC 175 (students should be referred to the ILLC Welcome Desk to arrange a time to meet Emily). She can be reached at 541-737-2409 and Emily.Lawton@oregonstate.edu.

Special Programs
INTO OSU Special Programs organizes group and individually-tailored programs in response to requests from university, government and business sponsors. Drawing on Student Services and Academic Programs, Special Programs aims to create meaningful, useful experiences for groups and individual students including university students, English teachers and business people.
Trips & Activities
Casey Glick coordinates a variety of trips and activities for INTO OSU students. All trips and activities are advertised during orientation, on our Facebook page, via email and at the ILLC Welcome Desk. Students can ask questions and sign up for trips at the ILLC Welcome Desk. There are designated times for sign up for each trip. These dates are all available on the activity calendar for each term, available at the ILLC Welcome Desk, the Student Info Depot (click here) and can be downloaded here.
Conversant Program
The Conversant Program is open to Pathway and Academic English students. Students sign up for the program at the beginning of the term and are matched with a native or fluent English speaker, usually an OSU student. Students will meet with their conversant once per week for one hour for the duration of the term. The time and activity is determined by the student and their conversant. For more information, email Casey Glick (Casey.Glick@oregonstate.edu).
