Overview

The Study Activity fee helps support 21 Ohio State Signature Events, which are some of the most popular and well attended events on campus. Events under the direction of the Office of International Affairs include, Thanksgiving (in partnership with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion), Thursday, November 22, 2012 and Taste of OSU, Friday, February 22, 2013.

Since these events will be partially funded through the Student Activity Fee, the planning committee for each event will be chaired by a student. The student leader will be paired with an International Affairs staff member who will serve as their advisor throughout the planning of the event.
