About Us

Welcome!

OSU South Centers provides objective scientific research and powerful educational programs through the collaboration of OARDC, OSU Extension and several local, state and national partners. While some programs focus on serving individual counties in Ohio's Appalachian Region, others reach across our state, nation and internationally.

The heart of the center is a dynamic team of employees who demonstrate and develop leadership, facilitate technology advancement, educate and expand businesses and help people to be the best that they can be while conveying an image of respect, helpfulness, responsiveness and the ability to assist in solving problems.

We invite you to learn more about our OSU South Centers through our website, social media pages, YouTube channel or by visiting us for a field night, tour or workshop. We welcome suggestions and ideas for our research and education efforts and look forward to sharing our knowledge and information to make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.
