Groups and Networks for Alumni and Friends
Our Beaver family is constantly growing and alumni networks are central to the OSU Alumni Association’s commitment to engaging alumni and friends in the life, promotion and advancement of the university. Our alumni networks and groups include several affinity and identity-based groups, networks for select colleges, as well as international and regional groups that are reflective of the diverse alumni of OSU.
