Student Life Offices Restructured

OHIO STATE STUDENTS TO SEE ENHANCED SERVICES IN STUDENT LIFE

     COLUMBUS -- The Office of Student Life and the nine student 
services and programming units that report through it have 
completed a year-long review and restructured themselves to 
better serve students at The Ohio State University.

     Under the new plan, Student Life has been eliminated as an 
umbrella office.  Instead, there are three administrative units, 
or clusters, reporting directly to the assistant vice president.

     According to Kathy Cleveland Bull, acting director of 
Student Life and facilitator of the restructuring review, the new 
organizational plan will improve services to students by 
increasing collaboration, making more effective use of resources, 
and creating greater visibility and access.

     Student Activities will now form one cluster and include 
student organization services, greek affairs, student events and 
a leadership development component.  Culture and Ethnicity will 
form a second cluster to include African American, Asian 
American, American Indian and Hispanic student services.  The 
third cluster, Gender and Sexual Identity, will include the Rape 
Education and Prevention Program; Gay, Lesbian, and Bi-Sexual 
Student Services; and Women Student Services. A men
