The Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Brain Imaging (CCBBI) is currently accepting applications for the Advancing Distinction in Neuroimaging Research (ADNiR) program.
The ADNiR program provides paid mentored research training to undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in neuroimaging research. The program aims to eliminate potential obstacles in a student’s academic success and professional development by providing hands-on research experiences in CCBBI-affiliated neuroimaging laboratories. An integral component of the ADNiR program will be to provide students with professional guidance and financial support for applying to graduate schools in their relevant area of study. The deadline for applications is November 17th 2025.
Learn more & apply for the ADNiR program
If you have questions about how to complete the application, or would like any additional information, please contact: ccbbi.service@osu.edu
Each month, the OSU COM admissions office hosts an open Q&A session (kind of like office hours) for those who are applying or interested in applying to the MD program.

View the upcoming dates and sign up to attend!
You will be contacted within one week of the Q&A session with instructions to join the Zoom meeting.

Duke University's Department of Psychology & Neuroscience is holding an Annual Virtual Office Hours Program. All are welcome to apply.
- Submission deadline: October 31
- Program dates: November 6-17
Applicants to the program will receive individualized feedback (via one-on-one Zoom meetings) on their application materials (personal, research, and/or other written statements + CV) from faculty, post-docs, clinical interns, and graduate students at Duke. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the graduate school application process. We run this program late in the Fall so applicants can receive feedback on how their near-final drafts might come across to admissions panels. This program is not intended as a brainstorming, or statement-building session.

Wednesday, November 12th at 6:00PM ET

Register now for informational session
In this virtual Informational Session via Zoom we will share about our College Program, what volunteer opportunities are available, and the application process for this upcoming semester. In this session you will get to hear from current volunteers about their volunteering experience, and you will have the opportunity to ask both staff and current volunteers any questions you have about the program.
We are seeking student volunteers who are:
- Compassionate – whether you are interacting with a patient or visitor, they are likely feeling stressed or overwhelmed. The empathy and compassion you provide during even a brief interaction can go a long way.
- Reliable – our staff, patients and visitors count on your support!
- Driven – many of our roles function fairly independently. Volunteers who get the most out of their experience are the ones who take initiative.
- Extroverted – regardless of where you are placed, a large portion of your role will involve interacting with our patients and visitors, so you should feel comfortable striking up conversations with strangers.
- Service-oriented – with each task or interaction, you have the opportunity to positively impact someone’s experience here at the Medical Center.

On International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, commonly referred to as Survivors' Day, individuals affected by suicide come together to find comfort and understanding as they navigate their healing journeys.
In November, OSUSPP hosts a Survivors of Suicide Loss Luminary event in observance of this meaningful day. This gathering offers students the opportunity to come together, foster a sense of community, and share hope. Together, they will learn how to engage in advocacy efforts and work towards fostering a campus culture of care.
Participants in the event can look forward to enjoying hot chocolate and treats, receiving a hope and healing kit, creating personalized remembrance candles, and learning about local resources available for those who have experienced a suicide loss in collaboration with Franklin County LOSS.
For more information about the Survivors of Suicide Loss Luminary, please reach out to suicideprevention@osu.edu

The Student Wellness Center will begin our Autumn 2025 Coaching Services on Tuesday September 2nd! We know the semester can present a number of challenges for students and our services are designed to support student success. As a reminder, we house 4 peer coaching programs each with a different goal:
- Scarlet and Gray Financial Coaching - For students looking for support on financial education and behaviors. Common topics include budgeting, baking, credit and credit cards, saving for purchases and emergencies, investing and retirement, and financial insecurity.
- Nutrition Coaching - Helps students explore their eating habits, find balance, and meet their nutrition needs through personalized education and collaborative goal setting.
- Wellness Coaching - Supports students with identifying opportunities for improving their holistic wellness in all dimensions. Commons areas of support include relationships, academics, stress, transitions, and balance in different settings.
- BASICS/CASICS - These programs are offered for all Ohio State students who may want to explore their alcohol and drug use, but the goal of the program is to reduce risky behaviors and harmful consequences of alcohol or cannabis abuse.
Our services are offered Monday-Friday during SWC business hours - appointments are 45-minutes long and students can see a coach within 48-hours. We are also excited to be sharing space in the Buckeye Commons with opportunities for drop-in coaching - information will be shared soon! Students can get connected with appointments on the SWC website.
