What is the Student Opportunity Development Fund?
The Student Opportunity Development Fund is now available thanks to the generosity of Ohio State’s English Lecturer, Pete Dully. The fund finances opportunities for students to pursue unusual or adventuresome activities outside the classroom that would not otherwise be accessible to them. Funds are provided with the intent of broadening students’ engagement with the world outside Central Ohio.
