Office of the Dean of Students
Dean of Students Office
Students are the heart of Ohio University. In the Office of the Dean of Students, we advocate for students, coordinate response to student crisis, and provide outreach and engagement to parents and families. We advance the university mission of supporting the intellectual and personal development of our students through ongoing advocacy and care.
We are here to support those with concerns or crisis related to a student, or for a parent, family or student looking for basic needs support like food assistance, bill assistance, emergency funding, and more.
If students would like to consult about planning a protest, they can call the Dean of Students office at 740.593.1800 for support and information.
