Former OSU Students

For former graduates, call Alumni Information Center, 292-8306. The Center can no longer give out addresses or telephone number of graduates. However, they will tell an inquirer whether they have an address for the person, and if so, will forward a letter from the inquirer to the graduate in question. The center will not give out information on lists of people. For business and schools the center will verify degrees obtained but the inquirer should call the Registrar's Office at 614-292-8244 for official verification and an official transcript.

For former students who may not have graduated, call the Registrar's Office and they will verify that the student attended OSU and whether or not they graduated. For a cumulative list of all graduates through 1986 with addresses, see: Alumni Membership Directory (Main Reference LD4221O321986).

 

Former OSU Faculty

Many former faculty were well-known on campus and may have had articles written about them in the Alumni Monthly. Main Library Reference has a card index to the Alumni Monthly from early days until the mid-70's and this can be checked to see if any articles were written about a particular former faculty member from this period. Also, call University Archives at 614-292-2409. If the faculty member was here more recently, information might be obtained from the Department as to whereabouts, etc. Former faculty can also be approached through the usual biographical sources.
