Event guidance

As we adjust to the profound changes we’re experiencing due to COVID-19, please follow these guidelines regarding club and society activities.

Virtual program ideas and best practices

We’re finding new ways to connect with our fellow Buckeyes. We’ve included some ideas here for Category 1 events, which provide continued engagement as we prioritize safety.

Game watch update

The Alumni Association in cooperation with the University will not support any in-person football game watch events, which includes marketing, swag, and reimbursements.  We want to ensure the student-athletes and our communities stay safe and healthy, and by cheering on the Buckeyes at home, we can all do our part. In this update, we’ve outlined some alternative activities to keep your members engaged with your alumni group and Ohio State.
