Just-for-You January Events
Check out the COH events calendar to see what’s happening this winter and beyond!
Spotlight: HDFS Club
Get to know one of the most helpful clubs around town: our very own HDFS Club (insta = @hdfsclubatosu) ! On Thursday, January 22 from 3-5 PM in Waldo 400, they’ll host a friendly meet-and-greet event for HDFS undergrad majors and minors (and potentially interested majors and minors) that includes career development resources.
Who can join the HDFS Club?
The HDFS Club is inclusive to all majors! We sponsor multiple events throughout the term, ranging from community service, professional development, and recreation. We love when new students join!
What’s one of the best aspects of being an HDFS Club member?
The best aspect is the people! We strive to make the club feel like a community, encouraging each other to reach our goals while creating a space where students can de-stress and talk freely.
How might affiliation with the HDFS Club aid students with their professional goals?
One of our goals is for students to get to know faculty and HDFS professionals, which is why we’re excited to partner with the School of Human Development and Family Sciences for our January 22 connection- building event, where students can meet faculty and discover opportunities in our vast field, including employment.
