From Scarlet to Gray to Career Ready: Mastering LinkedIn
Wednesday, January 28, 5:30 – 7:30 pm, at the Longaberger Alumni House
Session Description: Your LinkedIn profile is more than a resume; it’s your digital first impression. As alumni of The Ohio State University, you’re entering a competitive professional landscape where standing out online can open doors to opportunities, connections, and career growth.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Craft a headline and summary that grabs attention and showcases your Buckeye story
  • Highlight experiences and skills in ways that resonate with recruiters and peers
  • Use visuals, recommendations, and networking strategies to build credibility
  • Position yourself as a thought leader and active member of the OSU alumni community

Whether you’re job searching, exploring new industries, or simply strengthening your professional brand, this session will give you practical tools and insider tips to make LinkedIn work for you.

Don’t just be on LinkedIn, be seen, be remembered, and be connected!

A light dinner will be provided.  To attend, sign up here:

CHAMPIONSHIP  WOMEN’S  HOCKEY 

Come watch the OSU Women’s Ice Hockey team in action with us on Saturday, January 31!  Our Lady Buckeyes have appeared in 5 consecutive NCAA national championship games, winning the trophy in 2024 and 2022.


They are currently ranked #2 and will be playing against another powerhouse, Minnesota Duluth, that afternoon.

We will organize a pre-game lunch at The O on Lane, a family-friendly pub just a short walk from the Ice Rink. So bring the whole gang!  Last year’s game was sold out!

WOMEN’S HOOPS VS SOUTHERN CAL FEB 22

Here’s a great Holiday gift idea — tickets to join us for our annual gathering to cheer on the OSU Women’s Basketball team!  Our Franklin County Alumni Club has a block of Club Level mid-court seats to the Lady Buckeyes’ last weekend home game vs. USC, on Sunday, February 22.  Game time will either be 12 N or 2 pm.  We are working on plans to host our usual “Tailgate” party in the Huntington Club (2nd level of the Schottenstein Center).

AUTUMN WINE TASTING DINNERS

A club favorite, the semi-annual Wine Tasting Dinner at the Wine Bistro on Lane Avenue, is back again for TWO dates this fall! 

SOLD OUT

Both nights will begin at 6:30 pm. The chef will create a special menu for us, to pair with a variety of wines. The same menu will be served at both events, so you can choose which night is most convenient for you!We hope by offering two dates, we’ll be able to have more people join us.  But there is still limited seating available for each evening, so you will need to get your reservation in early! The Bistro will provide an amazing 4-course dinner, with 4 wines paired to complement 

each serving. You’ll even be able to order bottles of the wines you enjoy right after dinner! Plan to arrive by 6 pm so you have time to find parking and find a seat before dinner.  Parking is available behind the building (very limited), or on nearby streets, or most availability across the street in the Lane Ave Shopping Center.

GAME WATCH PARTY FOR WISCONSIN GAME

We are joining forces once again with our friends in the Delaware County OSU Alumni club to bring you our annual game watch party, this year for the OSU v.Wisconsin game on October 18.  Kickoff time is now scheduled for 3:30 pm, so the party will begin at 3:00.  Plan to get there early for a good seat!

We’ll have games and door prizes, the food is good and the company (Buckeye fans) is even better!   The location is the same as last year:  Wings & Rings, 8661 Columbus Pike (Route 23 about 3 miles north of the 270 outerbelt), in Lewis Center.  It is a family friendly place, so bring the whole gang!

There’s no charge to attend, but we do need a headcount in advance, so we know how many seats to reserve.  You can go to the Delaware club’s website to register — you don’t need to log in, you can use the “Guest Checkout.”

Help us Serve Those Who Serve!

On Thursday, Oct. 2, our alumni club will show appreciation for the OSU Police Department by serving lunch for all the officers as well as their administrative staff.

We’ll be serving a “Tailgate” style lunch, so we need a few folks to help set it up, and a few to clean up after. Join us for this great opportunity to give back to those who serve and protect the students and staff of our great campus! 

We’ll have two shifts: we need some people to help set-up and serve from 12:30 to 3 pm, and people to serve then help clean up from 2:30 to 5 pm.   Sign up to help by sending your name & phone number to OSUAlumniFranklinCounty@yahoo.com and say which shift you’re available for. Come help us say “Thank You!” to these hard-working individuals!
