History
The University Ambassador program began in 1994 with a staff of about 15 students. These early tours departed from the third floor of Lincoln Tower by bus or on foot. In 2010, the program moved to the Ohio Union — where it still runs now!
Today, about 75 students serve as University Amassadors — all with different academic interests, hometowns and involvement on campus.
Since the program’s start, we've served a wide range of students. While we most often work with high school juniors and seniors looking to apply, we also give tours to transfer students, admitted students and special groups.
Like most groups at Ohio State, we're also proud of our internal traditions, such as senior send-offs, tour milestones and annual retreats.
