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.

Support for Online Cross-Cultural Learning

The Middle East Studies Center supports faculty who implement high impact practices and authentic cultural learning in their courses and mentorship of students. More details are available at u.osu.edu/globaleportfolio/about We now offer a course revision/development grant along with consultations, and support for virtual learning activities and special events. We especially consider support for faculty with long-term partnerships with faculty or educational programs in the Middle East or surrounding regions or elements that allow your students can experience the cultures first-hand, via technology or in person. We also encourage faculty to join Ohio State University's Virtual Exchange learning community. That program comes with a course support grant that will further bolster your efforts.
