Beginning in January 2021, The Ohio State University Student Research Leadership Collaborative will provide an opportunity to bring students together from multiple school districts, allowing a diverse population of students to work together in a structured format to produce real change. Student teams of five identified by superintendents/principals, each representing multiple Central Ohio school districts, will virtually come together monthly beginning in January to explore, leadership qualities, quantitative and qualitative measurement along with advocacy strategies consistent with change. Through support from the ESC, Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity, Ohio State's College of Education and Human Ecology, and Columbus State Community College, students will become voices of changes for their respective schools and communities.
