The Office of International Affairs cultivates and nurtures the growth of global perspectives at The Ohio State University. As Ohio State enhances its mission for high distinction in international education, scholarship, and public service, the Office of International Affairs provides leadership and innovation to facilitate international opportunities for our students and faculty, and makes educational resources accessible for the campus, our international guests, and the community beyond. We also stimulate activities that celebrate diverse cultures, foster the exchange of ideas, serve as the central information hub for international activities, and support the growing international dimension of Ohio State.

A synopsis of the organization can be viewed in the International Affairs powerpoint presentation. The 2007-2008 Annual Report documents recent accomplishments and activities.

The Office of International Affairs is under the umbrella of the Office of Academic Affairs, which creates and supports an environment that helps advance Ohio State's overarching mission of becoming the finest land grant institution in the nation.
