The Ohio State University Board of Trustees has begun its search for a new undergraduate student representative. Each year, the governor of Ohio appoints one new student trustee to serve a two-year term as a full voting member of the board.
This student will serve on the board from May 2025 – May 2027, must maintain Ohio residency and student status throughout the entire term, and must be able to balance this significant responsibility with their academic and personal commitments. Candidates for this role must excel as leaders, be able to think strategically about the future of the university and interact in a professional manner with faculty, administrators and influential business and community leaders. More details and application information are available on the student trustee application webpage.
Ohio State’s current undergraduate student trustee, Joshua H.B. Kerner, will host information sessions on January 14 and January 15 for anyone who wants to hear more about the student trustee role and application process. Details about the information sessions can be found on the student trustee application webpage.
Applications are due by noon on Friday, February 7, 2025.
