what we do

We blend community with campus — building friendships, planning campuswide activities and connecting regionwide companies, organizations and community members to campus.

We also host “blends” — groups focused on various sports, activities and hobbies that welcome everyone, regardless of skill level: pickleball, origami, chess, singing, cycling and more. We run a student campus publication called The JuicePress, telling vibrant stories for a vibrant campus. We bring citywide events to campus, fostering connections between the university and the region it inhabits.

MISSION

Our core mission is to uplift college campuses through building healthy ecologies and public connectedness. In Toledo, that means making the University of Toledo a more relevant and instrumental force in Northwest Ohio. As a vital hub for greater Toledo, we believe the health of our region depends on three levels of engagement:

STUDENT

Mentoring students through leadership opportunities

CAMPUS

Centering campus culture through information and engagement

CITY

Building city and regional connections

  1. Mentor students through unique clubs called “blends” (journalism, cycling, pickleball, soccer, chess, origami, coding/AI, singing and more).
  2. Center campus culture through JuicePress and “The Juice” app that provide a one-stop-shop for campus happenings.
  3. Build pathways between campus and the region through professional and community opportunities.
