Our Student Involvement Fair presentation!
  • We had a great time at Ohio State's Student Involvement Fair! Thanks to all those who helped out and visited. Over 60 people expressed their interest and signed up for our mailing list.
  • We're planning our first introductory club meeting on Thursday, August 27th, at 5:30 PM. We'll be meeting outside the Oval-side doors to Thompson Library. Everyone can introduce themselves, provide any thoughts, and discuss the upcoming Buckeye Edit-A-Thon. Weather permitting, we'll likely sit on the Oval for this. It's not a required event for the Buckeye Edit-A-Thon, but everyone is encouraged to come.
  • Our upcoming Buckeye Edit-A-Thon is planned for September 8, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM in Thompson Library. The exact location will be announced soon. We're planning on having an introduction to Wikipedia and will begin to collaboratively brainstorm and edit Wikipedia articles on Columbus and Ohio State.
  • The course page is up for Fall 2015. Be sure to sign up! This page can be used to see the work our club members have been doing.
