Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Zenith / SPOK - Mentorship

Our organization provides virtual mentorship for blind and low vision (BLV) students (grades 8-12) from Ohio, across the country, and around the world. BLV students who are interested in space science will have the opportunity to meet others who share their passion for astronomy, physics, and aerospace engineering and will be paired one-on-one with mentors from Ohio State’s undergraduate and graduate programs. Weekly academic presentations, cohort discussions, one-on-one mentor meetings, 3D prints, and sonified data will give students the opportunity to learn about accessible space science. Our organization promotes academic growth for BLV students by providing access to higher education resources and connections. This club is open to both undergraduate and graduate students from any major who are interested in providing mentorship. No prior experience is necessary or expected.
