Discover what makes us so unique — and esteemed
Advancement at Ohio State is a coming-together of different specialties to create a powerful collective. Because of that, we’re able to be a more functional, nimble and inspiring team.
Recognized nationally as leaders in their fields, our executive team is building a program for those who want to empower our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends to change the world. Investing in each other, we can move humanity forward and create enduring impact.
Our structure lends itself to more focused and meaningful philanthropy. Fundraisers are seated in the same buildings as researchers making discoveries. Yet, they have the full support of an Advancement team with researchers, communications professionals and legal advisors. And our reach is wide, with 32 different key areas in which to specialize.
So from day one, you’re able to find your niche, explore and find your success.

"Support from our Advancement team is critical to the success of Ohio State and all members of our Buckeye community as they search for knowledge, honor the university's land-grant mission, and serve others. We are looking for a diverse group of thinkers, creative communicators, and smart risk takers who are dedicated to empowering our students, faculty, staff patients, alumni, and friends to change the world."

"It's so much more than fundraising. I help people find their passions and, in turn, help researchers take ideas on the shelf and turn them into solutions for the next wave of patients in that field."
