  • Join our team Facebook group! It’s the hub of our community where we post event reminders and announcements during the week, as well as lost and found items, partner searches and much, much more! Check it out here, and just hit request access. (if you’re having trouble joining the group please contact ballroom-exec@umich.edu and we’ll sort it out).
  • Get hype for OSB, it’s only a month away! The Ohio Star Ball is coming up quickly (Nov 20th-21st) and it’s the most action packed, fun weekend of dancing and camaraderie you’ve ever seen. Ask some older team members for their favorite OSB stories and you’ll quickly discover why it’s the highlight of the semester! If you are interested in attending OSB (and you should be!), be on the lookout for the comp sign-up email coming soon!! Questions about OSB? Ask your lovely Away Comp Chair Lauren (molloylg)!
