Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

  • Be available to chat with students, participate in panel discussions, and attend virtual and in-person DA APP events during both Autumn 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters.
  • Be responsive to questions from students. (You will likely only receive a couple emails each month.)
  • Be positive, open-minded, encouraging, and willing to engage with other Data Analytics students. Expected time commitment is no more than one hour per week.
  • Maintain an OSU GPA of 2.8 or higher.
