Ohio Union & Student Activities Alumni Society Membership
With the opening of the new Ohio Union during spring quarter 2010, The Ohio Union & Student Activities Alumni Society has the opportunity to expand and improve with more support from active and engaged alumni like you.  In summer 2009, based on alumni surveys and feedback, the Society was reorganized to more accurately reflect its alumni constituents and better assist the Ohio Union with its initiatives. 
 
In an effort to establish a membership base, those individuals who make an annual contribution of $20.00 or more to one of the several specified funds that are related to the Ohio Union and its programs and scholarships will be recognized as active members. Your contribution is fully tax-deductible.
 
Active members of the Society will receive opportunities such as:  
·      Access to apply for Ohio State football tickets
·      Discounted admission to events with other Ohio Union alumni
·      Fostering student leadership development and service initiatives
·      Support of Student Scholarships
·      Interaction with current students
·      Updates from the Ohio Union
