The Office of International Affairs developed VILLAGE, which stands for Valuable Insight, Life Lessons and General Exchanges, to apply those same principles for students who seek guidance.
You have your friends for relationship advice. If you’re feeling sad or emotionally distraught, you have campus professionals at the Office of Student Life’s Counseling and Consultations Services available to help. But what about everything else?
You can email VILLAGE for support! Your email will be answered with the best response within 24 hours, Monday - Friday.
This service should not replace the need to seek professional advice for very serious matters, but we definitely want to hear from you about other things and would like to help during your time at The Ohio State University. If you think you have a medical emergency, call your doctor, go to the emergency department or call 9-1-1 immediately.
