BLF Launches Leadership Luncheon Series

September 9, 2013

The Office of Student Life's Buckeye Leadership Fellows Program invites OSU Students to its “Leadership Luncheon Series.”

Each Friday at noon, 12 students will have the opportunity to meet, network, and learn from a community leader hosted by the BLF Program over a complimentary lunch.  Students do not need to be a member of the BLF Program to attend.  

Space is limited, and reservation is at a first-come, first-served basis.  The luncheons will be held in the Sloopy's Private Dining Room in the Ohio Union and start on September 13th.  Reserve your seat today by clicking here.

BLF will also be working with Leadership Columbus to introduce Ohio State students to even more community leaders as we continue to grow the series.

Leadership Columbus, one of the top five ranked community leadership programs in the country, provides state of the art education and training for emerging and existing leaders in the Columbus area. Since 1974, Leadership Columbus has been the premier training ground to educate, empower, equip and prepare more than 2,500 individuals to become the current and future trustees in and for our community. Leadership Columbus graduates have contributed to the quality of life in Central Ohio by their deeds and actions. In addition to completing more than 200 community projects, Leadership Columbus alumni have assumed positions of leadership in government, banking, business, industry, nonprofit sectors, politics, journalism, education, philanthropy, law, and neighborhood development. In addition, graduates populate the boards of the arts, health care and innumerable other nonprofit organizations in Central Ohio.
