Move to PROSPER (MTP), an initiative of Ohio State and community partners, is seeking volunteers, interns and mentors. This three-year program combines temporary rental support and comprehensive life coaching to facilitate the rental of apartments in high-opportunity communities by women working low-wage jobs who have children ages 13 and under, with at least one in school. Families are moving this summer to their new homes. Volunteers and/or interns are needed to assist in the growing of the initiative. Also, people who live in Dublin, Hilliard and Gahanna are needed by our partner organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Ohio, to mentor the school-aged children. Visit their website to learn more or contact Info@movertoprosper.org

Calling all faculty and staff! You are invited to be a part of game day at Ohio Stadium!

Opportunity: University Conduct Board
The senior vice president for student life appoints 15 faculty and staff members to the University Conduct Board (UCB), which hears allegations of non-academic violations of the Code of Student Conduct. By providing students with a fair hearing, UCB members perform a valuable service by upholding the university’s standards in a manner that demonstrates both civility and care for the entire university community. Faculty and staff seeking to serve on the UCB should discuss the opportunity with their department chair or supervisor and complete the application before Friday (7/13). Contact reeb.47 with any questions.
