OTSU Fest 2025!!!

OTSU

August 25, 2025

OTSU Fest is coming in hot! From Sept. 2 to 12, we’ve got a packed schedule to get you motivated, get you involved, and get you connected. The first two weeks on campus are oh-so memorable for years to come, so get out to as many events as you can!

Let’s be real, the week leading up to September is the worst—sleepless nights, anxiety, over-thinking if you’ve picked the right courses or if your profs and classmates will be chill. Fortunately, your student union is here to bust all that and make the transition back to campus exciting and actually enjoyable.

There’s plenty of time to cram for exams, but there’s only one chance to OTSU Fest! Meet people from across campus, make great friends, and find belonging within groups and clubs on campus—what more is there to say?

PLUS! We’re holding our annual back-to-school giveaway!

This year we’re giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 and four $25 gift cards. Just click this link below to enter. Want more chances to win? At each of our OTSU Fest events there will be a unique entry code that will give you more ways to win—just look for our table and ask one of us.
