Meet Our Team
Ohio State aims to provide parents with a seamless connection to a large university. This idea of "One University" is promoted through the cooperative efforts of many distinct departments on campus. To achieve that mission, staffing for Parent and Family Relations is provided jointly by the Office of Student Life and University Development. These efforts allow Ohio State to best meet the needs of our student body.
