Ohio State ATI is the Wooster Campus of The Ohio State University and part of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). Within CFAES there are many close working relationships between the Columbus and Wooster campuses. One such relationship is with Amy Jo Baughman, who works on the Columbus Campus as the CFAES Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving.
In her role with alumni, Amy Jo says, “Once you become a Buckeye, you’re a Buckeye for life no matter which Ohio State campus you choose. Just as the university and college offer resources to students, once a student becomes an alumnus, there are many resources available through the OSU Alumni Association and CFAES to support them as alumni! Things like career coaching, financial workshops, social events, alumni awards, community service, and more await future alums.”
Before beginning her role in the alumni office, Amy Jo worked in the CFAES Office of Prospective Student Services, so she has a lot of advice for prospective students! She says, “Choosing a college is all about finding the right fit for you, and a lot of factors go into that “right fit”—cost, housing, degree options, campus size, campus location, extracurricular opportunities, etc. It’s important to take the time to visit and see campuses for yourself.”
Currently, due to COVID-19, in-person visits to Ohio State ATI are not available as we prioritize the health and safety of our guests, students, faculty, and staff. However, we are working to bring Ohio State ATI to you through virtual weekly Admissions Overviews Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Tune in to learn about degree options, admission requirements, deadlines, and highlights of financial aid and campus life. We are also hosting webinars about housing, financial aid, and steps of the admission process. Information about how to join these online conversations can be found here. You can also schedule an individual visit with an admissions counselor and/or ATI faculty member over Zoom.
Although Amy Jo does not work on our campus, she is still part of our Ohio State ATI family! We would love for you to join that family as well!
