OUAB Executive Board

  • President - Michelle Mudarth

  • Vice President - Claire Kaido

  • Operations - Mia Grube

  • Marketing - Brian Beelman - Destiny Jackson

    The Marketing Committee plays a vital role in the success of OUAB events. We are responsible for communicating and promoting our events to students throughout campus. We do this as creatively as possible, with simple flyers and chalking as well as fun promotional items, Lantern advertisements and Facebook advertisements. We work to develop an exceptional image of OUAB around campus and seek both volunteers and attendees. Maybe you just want to put a little more creativity in your life or maybe you are looking to find out what marketing is really about. Look around - you might just see us when you are walking through the Oval, and watch out - we might toss you a Frisbee!
  • Comedy - Fontine Baptiste

    There are so many ways to make people laugh, the Comedy Committee's purpose is to try to bring them all! This committee is made up of all kinds of people who love to giggle, chuckle, chortle, and everything in between, but mostly just like to make other people do all of the above. We have brought stand-up like Joel McHale and Ralphie May, to combination shows like Will Ferrell's Funny Or Die tour, and even bringing the starts of TV shows like The Office and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
  • Concerts - Courtney Chow

    The Concert Committee is a group of individuals with a passion for both music and the music industry. We put on a variety of shows, ranging from audiences of the tens, to hundreds and thousands. We have brought artists ranging form Say Anything, T-Pain, Emerson Drive, Kid Cudi, The Cool Kids, The Roots, Thrice, Taking Back Sunday and many more!
  • Collaborative Events - Kayla Wood

    The Collaborative Events Committee works with other student organizations and departments at Ohio State to bring diverse and exciting events to campus. Collaborative Events include concerts, lectures, special events, and a wide array of non-traditional programs. It is the goal of the Collaborative Events Committee to create working relationships throughout the Ohio State community and to create events not currently being planned by the other OUAB committees.
  • Dates & Data - Ariel Cohen

    “Made by OSU Students for OSU Students” Dates and Data is the OSU student planner. For 58 years, the Dates and Data committee has been responsible for designing and compiling the entire planner, seeking advertisers, working with a publishing company, and selling the finished planner to bookstores and other businesses around campus. We are always looking for students to help out with design, photos, advertising, quotes, sales and more! Dates and Data has also put on great programs like Step it Up and Dance, Wii with Gee, and Put Your Game Face On.
  • Graduate/Professional - Kerry Hodak - Ana Azevedo

    The Graduate & Professional Student Programming Committee plans programs specifically with the graduate and professional student in mind. They range from enhancing a student's academic life, with programs about time management or writing grants, to social programs like our monthly happy hours or speed dating. We also recognize the numerous students who are parents (or are just kids at heart) with our Family Fun series. Overall we work to recognize the different needs of graduate and professional students to connect them to what the University has to offer.
  • Lectures - Michael Niday

    The Lectures Committee wants you to think. More importantly, we want you to have fun doing it. That’s why we work tirelessly to bring you diverse, unique speakers like Russell Simmons, Alberto Gonzales, Kurt Vonnegut, Al Gore, and members of the Mythbusters Crew! We provide a forum for authors, experts, celebrities, and professional speakers to share their experience and insights with OSU students.
  • Special Events - Kaitlyn McDowell

    Special Events is the OUAB committee that does all that and more. Whatever the other committees don’t cover, we do! We put on an array of events, from a fashion show, to a dance party to crafts on the oval. Typically events we plan have an interactive element that allows you to come out and do something fun, free of charge. Whether it is a motivational speaker or a night of magic, our missions is to promote diverse events that everyone can enjoy. You never know what Special Events will do next!
