Abstract

The Buckeye Room – open to all alumni – is an online platform that engages Ohio State alumni across the world who want to provide input on issues and topics that are currently important to the university. With more than 7,000 alumni joining in the first 6 months, the Buckeye Room continues to strengthen relationships with our diverse alumni community, understand their perspectives, and then shape initiatives around those viewpoints and preferences.

Description
