Join our D.C. Community

Public service is more than a job—it’s a dedication to serving causes bigger than mere self-interest. 

Ohio State’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs is here to support you through career transitions, professional development and a strong Buckeye network in Washington, D.C.

Connect with our D.C. Team

Working to advance the public good is an honorable way of life. 

We are driven by the nobility of public service in all its forms — for the military, a government agency, a nonprofit or civic association, or a private firm contracting or consulting with the government. 

In complex times, we are proud to offer community and connections, mentorship and professional development opportunities to professionals called to serve the public good.
