Annual Giving

In October 2016, we began the silent phase of our now public campaign, Time and Change: The Ohio State Campaign. This campaign is the most ambitious, inclusive community-building and fundraising endeavor in the university’s 150 years of making history.

As the college strives to reach our goals, here is our progress:

The Pay 4ward Triple Match Campaign returned for the fourth year in November 2020. This monthlong campaign connects recent graduates who showed their support for the College of Engineering and quadruples the impact of their gifts with a 3-to-1 match provided by several generous alumni.

Women Who Lead

On International Women in Engineering Day in June, the college hosted Women Who Lead. This virtual event featured a conversation between The Ohio State University President Kristina M. Johnson and College of Engineering Dean Ayanna Howard. In celebration of this day and our leaders, alumni were invited to pay forward with a gift to support future female engineers.

In total, more than $10,000 was raised for the Women In Engineering Scholarship, College of Engineering Diversity, Outreach and Inclusion Priority Fund, and Buckeye Engineering Women in Executive Leadership Innovation Award Fund.
