Update

Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities will be administered in compliance with the law as of June 27, 2025.

Community Ambassador Initiatives

Each semester, our Community Ambassadors lead initiatives in the University District, as well as on campus, to promote civic engagement through community building efforts. These initiatives strive to build an inclusive community, increase safety awareness, and enhance life skills to support the extraordinary student experience. Some efforts in the past have included:

  • Creating wellness kits for the houseless population
  • Sustainable item distribution giveaways on Earth Day
  • Buckeye Food Alliance donation drives
  • Pirate themed craft event during Sibs & Kids weekend
  • Mental health and wellbeing Valentine’s Day event

Keep a lookout for these initiatives with the Community Ambassadors who will help you have a fun and safe off-campus experience. If you have any questions or ideas for initiatives, please email offcampus@osu.edu.
