In support of Ohio State’s motto, “Education for Citizenship,” the Office of Student Life is focused on creating unmistakably unique, supportive and productive environments in which students can expand their aspirations and achieve their full potential, preparing for a lifetime of success and making a difference in the lives of others. 

Completing college has a broad impact on an individual’s long-term success, well-being and happiness, yet many students struggle to thrive in classes because their essential needs, such as food, housing or clothing, are not met. 

The Monda Student Resource Center creates a one-stop shop to help meet essential needs of students, offering new services and bringing together existing university programs and community partnerships for ease of access. 

By giving to the Monda Student Resource Center, you can help increase students' access to resources such as our on-campus food pantry, free hygiene products, professional clothing and more. Make a gift today to ensure students essential needs are met as they learn, engage and thrive during their time at Ohio State. 

“I would like to say thank you for how much the emergency fund helped me. I think this fund can help a lot of people in similar positions to me. It can prevent students from being homeless or having extra mental health struggles from not being able to solely focus on school without financial stressors.”
