No – Buckeye Advocates is a nonpartisan group. We organize, inform, and mobilize alumni and friends of Ohio State to advocate on behalf of both the university and higher education. We are a group who gather to urge legislators and other decision makers to carefully consider bills or other issues that impact the university.

No, Buckeye Advocates may NOT endorse candidates due to state and federal guidelines for tax-exempt nonprofit entities.

This is truly up to you. You can decide how much or how little time you spend based on your comfort level or availability.

The Office of Advocacy works closely with the university leadership as well as the Government Affairs team to understand the implications that policies and proposed laws could have on The Ohio State University.
