  • How to become a meet-up host

How to become a meet-up host

Help get OU students in your area together and chatting over a drink and some nibbles.

We help students to meet each other face to face by hosting meet-ups throughout the country and beyond, as well as online. Our meet-ups are hosted by students, for students.. Check out our full list of upcoming meet-ups and if you can’t find one in your area, maybe you could consider becoming a Meet-up and Event Host yourself! 

  

How do I become a Meet-up and Event Host? 

Any student can host a meet-up and we'll support you every step of the way. You'll need to complete a very short application form to become a volunteer Meet-up and Event Host. You'll find further details and whether recruitment is currently open on the Volunteering page. 

  

How do I set up a meet-up? 

Once you've completed the meet-up host training you can fill in the meet-up event form to let us know when and where your meet-up will be, as well as any other additional details. 

  

What happens next? 

We help to promote the event through our website and social media accounts. These are an opportunity for you to meet other OU students in your area, share study tips or just to have a general chat.
