About OSU CARES...

OSU CARES is a jointly funded effort of University Outreach and Engagement and Ohio State University Extension. This initiative serves as a catalyst to activate teams of university professionals to address anticipated critical issues to face Ohioans. These teams have resulted in new partnerships between OSU Extension and colleges, departments and units of the university. Through the work of these teams and partnerships, new or enhanced outreach/engagement efforts connect the resources and educational services of the university with the communities the university serves. Through OSU CARES, teams and partnerships focus on the cutting edge future issues that will face Ohioans and strive to provide resources and educational services that can help Ohioans make decisions that positively affect their lives.
