Reimagining the Student Experience (RiSE)

The RiSE Initiative helps students who come to The Ohio State University by way of transfer (JLM Scholars Program), campus change (RCT Scholars Program), or who have lived experience in foster care, kinship care, or another out-of-home placement (FAN Scholars).
