Campus Outreach Columbus
A podcast designed for the Buckeye student with engaging conversations happening right now on the college campus.
Congratulations, Buckeyes! You have made it through the unpredictable 2020-2021 school year. A summer break is well-deserved, especially after you finish writing final papers, cramming in the library for exams, and getting through group projects. As you start to make summer plans, we wanted to speak from personal experience about 4 ways you can waste your summer. Join Dylan, Allison, and Katie on our final episode of Season 1 of Campus Conversations. Thank you for listening and we will be back in the fall!
Most people come to college wanting to make friends and lasting memories. A booming social life might involve getting yourself out of the dorm and into the nearest party. When it seems like everybody is going out to the bars and frat parties, the Christian student is left with a lot of questions: Should I drink? How should I drink? In this episode, Dylan, Allison, and Alex have a conversation on the topic of partying in college.
March Madness is here! No, we aren't talking about the basketball tournament, but the middle of the Spring semester. We've reached the halfway point and we know the season is met with a variety of emotions: recovering from the winter blues, midterm stress, and continuing through an unprecedented global pandemic. One thing we can all agree on is that mental health matters. Whether you personally experience mental health struggles or not, this conversation between Allison, Dylan, and special guest Kat, will be encouraging for you as you care for your own (and others’) mental health.
Love is in the air! Whether you're spending the 14th quarantining in your dorm with a box of chocolates, or feverishly swiping right to find the perfect Zoom date on campus for the occasion, we're all familiar with Valentine's Day. Join us as we talk about all things relationships and what it looks like to date in an era of dating apps and social-distancing.
Welcome back, Buckeyes! With sorority recruitment around the corner, we are excited to kick off the '21 spring semester with a special episode about all things Greek life at Ohio State. When you think about fraternity and sorority life, the Christian faith might be the last thing that comes to mind. In this episode, we have a real, open conversation with former Greek members (and even a former President) about the stereotypes associated with Greek life, how to decide IF you should go through fraternity/sorority recruitment, and how to thrive in your chapter.
2021 is on the horizon! Congratulations, you’ve just about made it through one of the most ambiguous, isolating, Zoom-heavy years we’ve ever seen. Around this time of year, it’s customary to draw out lists of goals and resolutions for the next 365 days to inspire and encourage us. Peep into a conversation between Dylan, Allison, and special guest Jaclyn as they talk all things resolutions.
‘Tis the season! Few conversations are happening on the college campus as many students are celebrating the holidays with friends and family. Between wrapping gifts and listening to your favorite artist’s Christmas album, pause to listen in on Dylan and Allison's conversation of how Ohio State decks the (dining) halls and the rest of campus in a typical year, debate the best movies of the season, and share how faith has changed Christmas for them.
Thanksgiving leftovers have been eaten, finals are in the air, and Winter Break is among us. With weeks of clear schedules ahead for the Buckeye student, it can be daunting to figure out how to spend all of this free time. Join Dylan, Maggie, and Alex as they discuss FIVE ways to maximize your winter break and thrive this season.
Navigating any political conversation as a young adult is convoluted, confusing, and chaotic. The 2020 election cycle is no exception. Join Elaina, Grace, and Dylan as they discuss the fallout from the 2020 election and how we are hopeful for our country and campus moving forward.
What does it look like to be a college student during a global pandemic? Come explore with us as Dylan invites Kyle (freshman) and Nick (senior) to dive into Zoom fatigue, quarantine expectation vs. reality, and how to make the most of your time as a student in the era of COVID-19.
