Message from the Chair
Your gifts to the Department
of History at Ohio State University empower us better to fulfill our mission
of publishing the very best research, providing excellent instruction to our
students, and advancing the interests of the citizens of Ohio. Your generosity
will enable a needy undergraduate to remain in school, assist an ambitious
graduate student in travelling to an archive in the United States or abroad,
supplement the department’s quest to retain the very best faculty, or
otherwise help us to advance our mission.
By following the links below you may direct your contributions to nearly three dozen worthy causes. I would be very happy to discuss with donors other options for major gifts to the Department. Let me know if you have questions.
Thank you very much for your support of the Department of History.
