Student Life

While the event is primarily directed at students, all staff and faculty are invited and welcome! This is a great opportunity for us to show support for this important department. We encourage you to stop by to meet the new Project S.A.F.E. staff! Live music, refreshments, and other activities will be provided. You can find the Eventbrite page here.

Each semester, Oxy clubs, organizations, and departments come together to help students explore involvement opportunities, identify shared interests, and exhibit student support services. Join us at the iFair to network and get a better sense of what this semester has to offer.

Convocation is one of the College's oldest traditions, and in reviving the practice this fall after two years of pandemic disruption, we are returning to its original design as an event for the whole community, rather than solely for first-year students.

The 2022 Summer Research Conference will be back in person for the first time since 2019! We welcome members of the Oxy community to join us on campus for the conference as we celebrate the work being done by our students in the Summer Research Program.
