Join us as we conclude the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Ohio University Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service’s Environmental Studies Program with a special final gathering. For five decades, this program has empowered students, advanced environmental initiatives, and shaped leaders in environmental policy, research, and action.

This event is a chance to reflect on our program’s legacy, reconnect with fellow alumni and supporters, and celebrate the impact we’ve made together. We look forward to honoring our shared commitment to environmental leadership and looking ahead to the program’s future.
