- If you request a presenter and we are able to accommodate your request, you are required to provide a list of students who have RSVP'd for the event. This RSVP list should be emailed to the OCM presenter no later than 2 days before your event. We ask that you have at least 10 students in attendance at any OCM-led workshop.
- If you request resources such as a PowerPoint, an OCM staff member will be in touch with you in 2-3 business days. If you would like to be trained on giving an OCM presentation, you will be asked to schedule an appointment via Handshake.
This event will be presented with automated closed captions. If you wish to request traditional CART services or other accommodations, please contact Audrey Bledsoe at bledsoe.38@osu.edu or 614-292-8582. Requests made 10 days prior to the event will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
