The Office of International Affairs is convening an International Student Advisory Board to give a voice to international students at Ohio State. The board will be a forum for students to suggest new initiatives and bring important concerns to the attention of the Office of International Affairs.
Each semester the group will identify two to three topics as areas of focus. At the end of the semester, the group will provide a report to International Affairs leadership, to highlight priority concerns, progress towards addressing them, and requests for institutional support in specific areas.
The group may hear and address concerns specific to one nationality or group, but the primary focus will be on issues impacting the entire international student community.
The board will convene monthly with the International Affairs global engagement team and students are responsible for attending meetings, actively engaging in discussions, working cooperatively to address concerns affecting international students at Ohio State, and promoting understanding and respect towards and among all international students on campus.
Eligible international students are encouraged to apply by November 9. Interested applicants can view eligibility requirements and selection criteria on the International Student Advisory Board web page.
