Leadership Week

What is Leadership Week?

Leadership Week is a university-wide collaboration to strengthen the culture of student leadership at Ohio State. Whether you have lots of leadership experience or are new to the concept, we encourage you to attend at least one event this week to strengthen your leadership abilities in one or several of the leadership themes explored throughout the week. This year's leadership themes are career development, community engagement, holistic wellness, and personal exploration.

If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in a Leadership Week event, please contact Meagen Rinard at rinard.9@osu.edu. Requests made by one week before the selected session will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
