‘Meet people where they are’

As part of ongoing work to combat overdose deaths, Ohio State students, including several from the College of Public Health, went to work this spring to educate the Ohio State community about how to stay safe if they use drugs, and how to help others who might be in harm’s way.

Buckeyes for Harm Reduction, a student organization focused on combatting the opioid crisis in Ohio, helped educate their peers and taught them how they can take action during the group’s annual Harm Reduction Week project in March.

New undergraduate general education will benefit public health students

Expected to launch autumn 2022, Ohio State’s new general education (GE) model for undergraduate students will focus on foundation courses, thematic pathways and a new “launch seminar” and “reflection seminar” that help students connect the dots between courses. It will also allow students to better tailor their academic experience to align with their interests and goals.
