Black & African American Student Resources

Welcome to the resource hub for Black and African American students at OSU—because we know you’re out here serving up Black Excellence on a daily basis. The strength, brilliance, and creativity you bring? Iconic.

Real talk, though: thriving in spaces that weren’t always designed with us in mind can feel like an uphill climb. Whether it’s finding your people, juggling life’s demands, or navigating systems that love to throw curve balls, we get it.

This hub is here to remind you—you don’t have to do it all alone. You’ve got resources, support, and a whole community rooting for you. Whether you’re looking for tools to level up, spaces to recharge, or just a reminder that you belong here (because you do), we’re here to walk with you every step of the way. Let’s keep that Black Excellence shining bright (with permission to rest when needed, of course).
