Forging connection and community
The Faculty Network creates opportunities for Ohio State faculty to socialize with colleagues, discuss shared interests and concerns, and easily access valuable resources. Planned informal gatherings hosted on and off campus are designed to foster a sense of belonging, mutual support and relationship building among our faculty at Ohio State and in the surrounding communities.
The Faculty Network focuses on the experiences of faculty, though all are welcome to join.
