In memory of our friend and colleague, and with encouragement from his family, we have established the J. F. Buckley Memorial Scholarship for Sexuality Studies.   This new fund will provide up to $1,000 scholarship each year to a student pursuing the sexuality studies minor at OSU Mansfield. 

Gifts can be made to fund #312831 at the Ohio State Mansfield Business Office during regular business hours or through payroll deduction by contacting the Development Office at 755-3913.

The Richland County Transit Board (RCT) has joined forces with Ohio State Mansfield and NC State to provide free bus service to all students. The free bus service includes service to campus and all regular RCT routes in Mansfield and Ontario. Students need only to show their valid BUCKID Card (you must currently be enrolled and have a current quarter fees paid sticker on your ID) to receive a free ride. Bus service is available, Monday—Friday, except major holidays.

This schedule may change very soon based on student demand. Stay tuned to InterSpeak for schedule updates.

What is the OSU-Mansfield Psychological Consultation Service?

This service provides students with an evaluation, brief counseling, and referral services for a variety of problems. Early detection and assistance often can prevent small problems from becoming serious problems. The Psychological Consultation Service offers personal confidential assistance for a wide range of concerns including:

• Stress, depression, and other emotional health issues
• Relationship concerns (romantic, roommate, family and friends)
• Alcohol or drug use or misuse
• Food and body image concerns
• Parenting challenges
• Sexual identity
• College adjustment issues
• Personal trauma
• Academic performance concerns, test anxiety
• Unplanned pregnancy
• Balancing college, work, and home
• Other matters that are having a stressful impact on your life

The OSU Mansfield campus community is invited to consult with our clinical psychologist, Dr. Blake Wagner, Ph.D., or Cynthia Thompson, M.A., P.C.C. Free consultations are available for emotional and relationship matters or for whatever is on your mind. These consultations are completely confidential.

The office is located in Bromfield, Room 226. Appointments can be made by calling Dr. Wagner at his off-campus office at 419-529-9941.

The schedule is as follows:
Week #1, Dr. Wagner, Monday 9-1 & Wednesday 12-1 & 3-4

Week #2 through finals week
Dr. Wagner, Group, Weds. 12-1,
Office Monday 9:15-12
C. Thompson, Wednesday & Thursdays 11-2.

Purpose: To enhance the quality of academic and co-curricular campus life for Ohio State Mansfield and North Central State College student body by determining and acting on student concerns in an effective way.

We meet Tuesdays at noon in the CAB Office in the Eisenhower Student Union. For more information, please email Andy Crawford at Crawford.500@osu.edu or President Sara Fisher at fisher.684@osu.edu

An emergency notification system (test & voice messaging) has been developed by OSU Columbus.   It is available for the Columbus Campus and at each of the Regional Campuses.   North Central State College and OSU-Mansfield faculty, staff, students and parents can register at www.buckeyealert.osu.edu.

This system will only be activated in the event of a true emergency.  It will be activated if a situation occurs or is imminent that has the potential of placing the safety and security of the entire campus community at risk.  This will not be used as an early warning system for potential severe weather or for notification of campus events.   It will only be used when public safety and campus officials have determined that the campus community must take immediate action to remain safe and secure.

This initiative is consistent with the recommendations of the Board of Regents Task Force on Ohio College Campus Safety and Security.   It uses shared technical capability and capacity to improve safety and security at multiple Institutions.

Please contact Brian White at (419) 755-4227 if you have any questions.

presents a free concert

“Fifty Years of Fabulous Favorites” by Tony Pasquarello

Sunday, October 12, 2008, 2:30 p.m.

With colorful commentary, unique insights from 60 years of public performance and his own dynamic arrangements, Tony offers a festival of the famous and the fondest, with flashing pianistic fireworks.

You’ll hear the top five requests of the period including New York-New York and Phantom of the Opera. Special focus will be given to music of 1958, the first year OSU classes were offered in Mansfield, and 1966, the year the campus opened.

“Whatever you do, don’t miss this fantastic concert. To do so would be to miss a delicious, exquisite, absolutely refreshing musical feast, served by a legendary, local piano virtuoso.”
— Cliff Schujter, pastor emeritus, First Congregational Church

“Tony’s Art Center concert was so successful, members of the audience immediately began to ask when he was going to return for the next concert.”
— Richard Wink, professor emeritus of music, OSU Mansfield
