“Good Trouble” for a Good Cause

The Ohio State University Alumni Association is excited to offer a unique virtual experience for our alumni and friends. We have partnered with Magnolia Pictures to provide our alumni an opportunity to rent and view “John Lewis: Good Trouble” and participate in a virtual discussion on the themes of civil and voting rights as explored within the film.

From now until this Friday, October 16, you can rent the film for $12. For every rental, Magnolia Pictures will donate $5 to the Kirwan Institute at The Ohio State University. Those who rent and view the film are invited to a virtual discussion on civil and voting rights on October 21 at 6 p.m. with Kyle Strickland from the Kirwan Institute.Rent John Lewis: Good Trouble now

RENEW OR JOIN OSUDC

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the OSUDC membership year now runs on the calendar year from January 1 – December 31. For $25, you are a member of OSUDC; for $75+, you are a member of OSUDC and a  sustaining member of OSUAA, which makes you eligible for OSUAA benefits such as football tickets. Membership dues are tax deductible contributions to our OSUAA current use fund that makes programming available to area alumni. Dues can be paid at one time, or you can set up recurring payments.

We offer two ways to become a member:

Option 1) Yearly membership to Alumni Club of Washington, D.C. | Join now

If you simply want to join the Alumni Club of Washington, D.C. you can do so for a modest donation of $25 per year. This option is open to both Ohio State alumni and Ohio State fans.

Option 2) Yearly sustaining membership to OSUAA + Alumni Club of Washington, D.C. | Join now

Becoming a sustaining member of The Ohio State University Alumni Association requires a yearly donation of $75 (which makes alumni eligible for football tickets and other great benefits). By allocating a yearly donation of $75 or more to the Alumni Club of Washington, D.C., you will get access to OSUAA benefits and Alumni Club of Washington, D.C. incentives. If you have any questions, please contact our membership chair, Alex Temple, at membership@osudc.org, or our treasurer, Melissa Harto, at treasurer@osudc.org.
