Student Affairs strive to increase student success by assisting students in developing competencies in problem solving strategies, relationship building, leadership skills, career-related skills and promoting opportunities for positive social interaction through programming. Included in our program is a focus on diversity and activities that foster respect of cultural, ethnic and gender differences. Orientation events provide students an introduction to the academic environment, extracurricular life, residence life and campus surroundings.

Welcome Week activities encourage positive interaction among students by involving them in special activities that promote introductions and relationship building. Monthly programs include; Lunch with The President, community service events, social activities, and quarter trips.
 
Study Trips
The Art Institute of Ohio — Cincinnati arranges study trips to local cultural and commercial sites. These visits are an integral part of each student’s training and offer a chance for valuable exposure to places and events relating to the student’s field of study. In addition to local study trips to support the curriculum, out-of-town seminars and visits are planned in individual programs. The costs related to optional study trips are not included in regular tuition or fees.
