Buckeye Family Connection

Every student's journey is unique. Your campus communications should be, too.

The Buckeye Family Connection is a platform powered by CampusESP that allows families to stay connected to Ohio State with personalized stories and events that match their student's Buckeye journey.

Families are invited to create an account on the Buckeye Family Connection to immediately begin receiving communications from our office.

During the registration process, you will take a short onboarding survey. Your responses to the survey will automatically add you to a set of communities, which will personalize your experience. If you choose not to create an account on the platform, you will still receive information from our office, but your communications will consist of more general stories and opportunities.

Though this new platform replaced our previous e-newsletters, you will still receive regular communications from our office via a regular email with featured articles from the Buckeye Family Connection. These automated emails will be delivered to your inbox at regular time intervals that you choose (e.g., weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.). You can also log into the platform at any time to see articles as soon as they are published.

If information needs to be shared with all families as soon as possible, our office will utilize the Announcements feature to deliver information to your inbox outside of regular communications.

If you have any questions about Buckeye Family Connection, please contact our office via email at parentandfamily@osu.edu or via phone at (614) 292-9153.
