Hosted by the OSU Alumni Association, the Changemakers program celebrates Beavers who meaningfully transform their communities or fields of interest. Whether they’re making a difference through their careers or volunteer work, these inspiring individuals are blazing a path toward equity, strong communities, human rights, health and prosperity, climate change solutions and so much more, underscoring the profound impact that even modest efforts can have.

The recognition is a part of the OSU Days of Service, an annual effort every May that unites Beavers worldwide in making a difference. Together, they reflect the OSU community’s commitment to a brighter future and the belief that everyone’s efforts matter.

Do you know someone creating change in their community? Share their story with us to be considered for the OSU Changemakers recognition. Alumni and current students are eligible. Nominations are due Feb. 1, 2025.
