Categories & Dues

We invite you to become a member!

The Faculty Club is a unique phenomenon, and an important component of the history and tradition of the University. Dating back to 1923 with a foundation of kinship across disciplines, the Club today upholds that tradition and is committed to being a forum where ideas, camaraderie, friendships and social events are shared by all members within a unique, comfortable environment.

Situated on the historic Oval, between Mirror Lake and Orton Hall, The Club offers membership to any employee, trustee, graduate student, or alumni of The Ohio State University. Additionally, we welcome parents of currently enrolled students, faculty from other Ohio colleges and universities and community members who share the social and intellectual interest of The Ohio State University.

For information contact our Membership office (614)688-8592.
