  3. Consent for electronic delivery of Form 1095-C

    Submitted by Robin Frazier, frazier.398@osu.edu

    Form 1095-C is a required tax form that provides important information about the health care coverage an employee had or was offered by Ohio State during 2018. For employees who consent to receive the form electronically, it will be available from Equifax with secure access through Employee Self Service on February 18, 2019. Equifax will send an email when the 1095-C is available. 
        
    If you haven't done so, you can log into Employee Self Service by February 11, 2019, to provide consent. Receiving the form electronically saves time and is more secure. If consent is not provided, the form will be delivered to your home address on file in the HR System by March 4, 2019. Emails will be sent in early January to those employees who have not yet consented, requesting that they sign up for electronic delivery. 
        
    If you wish to provide consent and haven’t already done so, please go to Employee Self Service. You can view step-by-step directions at go.osu.edu/1095c

  6. Sesquicentennial Student Scholar Leadership Program

    Submitted by Julia Morris, morris.878@osu.edu

    Since October, I have continued to email current students about the Sesquicentennial Student Scholar Leadership Program. The deadline to apply is February 1, 2019. Please share and refer this opportunity to students who would be viable candidates. The details are shared below from President Drake. Thank you! 
        
    In 1870, Ohio State was founded to elevate our communities through education and exploration. Since then, the university has been a launch pad for generations of Buckeyes to become leaders and create ideas that change the world. 
        
    As we approach our 150th anniversary next year — the university's sesquicentennial — I invite you to celebrate and strengthen this proud tradition by applying to participate in our new Sesquicentennial Student Scholar Leadership Program. 
        
       Each Sesquicentennial Scholar will: 
       • receive a $2,500 scholarship, 
       • participate in leadership training, 
       • serve as an ambassador for the university and our sesquicentennial. 
        
    If you are passionate about Ohio State and eager to share your enthusiasm, I encourage you to learn more and apply at 150.osu.edu/150scholars. Applications will be accepted through February 1, 2019. 
       

    The Ohio State University has transformed lives for nearly a century and a half. I look forward to celebrating this milestone with you and, together, laying the foundation for the next 150 years of excellence and impact. 
        
        
    Sincerely, 
        
        
    Michael V. Drake, MD 
    President
