Buckeye Bound is an event hosted by Undergraduate Admissions for admitted students that provides an in-depth introduction to your academic college and allows you to learn from faculty, staff and current students about the experiences and opportunities available to you at Ohio State!

More than ever, we need leaders who are ready to improve democratic institutions and reweave America's social fabric.
The Glenn College will help equip you with the tools to make a difference through relationships, knowledge and skills and experience.

Public affairs opportunities in Columbus are unique because:

It is a large city.
It is Ohio's largest city and also a state capital (rare!).
In addition to that, Columbus has a major university.
And that big university happens to have a top rated public policy college with TWO undergraduate programs (VERY rare!).
Finally, Ohio is highly relevant in national elections.

Advisors Whitney and Meagen explain how the Glenn College supports students through their undergraduate journey.
