Families Welcome!

Embracing that a number of our graduate and professional students have spouses, children, and/or are in multigenerational households, OUAB Grad/Prof strives to create programming opportunities in which the families of the students are incorporated into the experiences. These opportunities allow for students to identify campus offices and departments that provide family programs, allow families to be engaged in the campus community, and help students develop a community of student parents for networking and relationship building.

Check out our calendar for the most up-to-date offerings. Email ouabgradprof@osu.edu with suggestions for future events.
