Consisting of students and faculty, the board meets once a month to discuss ways to improve the development and implementation of cultural and educational programs that will better serve the A/PA community.

An outreach program to A/PA middle school students who may feel isolated or disconnected from traditional mainstream educational settings.  A/PA students from OSU will serve as mentors for the youths where they meet with their mentees for various educational and cultural activities.

Offered at the beginning of every term, chat session is designed for new students to get to know eacfh other and "helpful people" on campus who can help you succeed.  The session provides survival tips on campus, resources available on campus and in the community, ways to get involved, and a chance for new students to ask questions and get them answered!

Students who are majoring/minoring in Ethnic Studies are required to do an internship, involving ethnic communities.  A/PA Education Office can provide assistance in fulfilling the graduation requirement by providing an internship opportunity in the office or helping identify internship sites.

The office also provides cultural and educational programs.  Examples of programs offered include:  racism workshops, resume writing/interviewing skills workshop in conjunction with Career Services, scholarship application workshop, etc.

The office is committed to the health of the community by sponsoring events such as A/PA Student & Faculty Reception, "Day of Remembrance" educational programs, A/PA Heritage Month Activities, and A/PA Graduation Ceremony.

If you feel like you would like to participate in any of these programs, or if you would like to see more programs, please feel free to contact the A/PA Education Office.
