The O.S.I.A. Connection

Helping students and student /athletes attain
Opportunities for Success, Inspiration, and Achievement.

Darlene has over 30 years of experience working with young
people as a teacher, coach, and college football coach’s
wife. After the passing of her husband, Osia, she wanted to
do something to honor Osia and carry on his legacy of
mentoring young people and positively impacting lives.
The O.S.I.A. Connection was developed to do that by
“Helping students attain Opportunities for Success,

Inspiration, and Achievement."

We facilitate engaging conversations to deal with current
life struggles that lead to student driven solutions. Our
goal is to assure students are not alone in their feelings
and help guide them to their own unique resolutions.

Our programming is highly adaptable and can be customized to meet the unique needs of your college community. We offer a tailored approach by sending out questionnaires to better understand and address the specific requirements of your students.
