The mission of the Appalachian Studies Network@OSU was to provide and support opportunities for students, staff, faculty, and community members at OSU and beyond to create and foster complex interdisciplinary conversations, critical engagements, and community-led and community-focused projects in collaboration with Appalachians and the Appalachian region. They seeked to celebrate the richness and diversity of Ohio’s Appalachian counties and the broader Appalachian region, and to create a conversation at Ohio State University and beyond about the issues Appalachian students and the region face. Using a multitude of approaches, they worked toward creating a sustainable educational and economic atmosphere in Appalachian Ohio, generating conversations at OSU and beyond.
