University Budget Conversations
The University Budget Conversations are hosted by the Office of Budget & Resource Planning and are open to all OSU employees and students. The goal of the forums is to answer questions, gain insight from employees and students, and provide high-level information about budgets/budget processes and finance at OSU. The format for the conversations is informal and attendees are encouraged to bring their questions.
NOTE: University Budget Conversations are not recorded. If you would like to schedule presentations at the division/department or colleges/school level, please work with your college financial staff or financial services staff to schedule a presentation. They will reach out to [email protected] to schedule. This allows our staff to respond to specific questions.
