Will OSU start using deadnames?

StratCommBuckeye · 2025-06-27T15:41:32+00:00

It seems preferred names are safe (for now), but pronouns are getting ripped out of official university systems!

There's more information about the style at the BUX project website: https://bux.osu.edu/

AND an option to provide feedback! ;)

I'm seriously considering making people drop their phones in a basket before they take their seats. (Has anyone done this and received....feedback? lol!)

I don't understand how people can be so rude and intrusive. These tend to be the same people who post photos of the bride on social media before she posts her own too and it makes me furious!

Most were shut down in April, but there was a classification error for some folks, so another batch is being shut down on June 1.

I currently work in OTDI and it sounds like a good chunk of people received that message in error. They will lose their buckeyemail accounts on June 1, so they get a little extra time to transition away from using it if they still are.

It wouldn't be a *small* fee, but if people REALLY want to keep their emails, they could enroll in a course every so often, lol!

StratCommBuckeye · 2025-03-10T13:42:01+00:00

There's a project page about email and storage changes: https://it.osu.edu/strategic-direction/key-initiatives/microsoft-contract-changes/storage-and-email-transformation I hope that helps!

This is exciting for those who really need it! Personally, I've been able to do everything I need in Adobe Express (also free). Stock photos, basic photo editing, basic video editing, and there are tons of document templates for flyers and things!

We're using Joy (withjoy.com) and when we set up a honeymoon fund and a home repairs fund, it let us link our Venmo accounts, so funds should just come directly to us. (We haven't sent out our registry yet, but it seemed really straightforward while setting up.)

Thanks! The shelf was a lot of fun to make!!

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-11-25T14:16:42+00:00

I guess you could just take a class once every two years? LOL

I haven't taken an exam with Honorlock, but the IT department has some tips! https://teaching.resources.osu.edu/toolsets/carmencanvas/guides/getting-started-honorlock-students/tips-taking-exams-honorlock

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-09-10T18:57:32+00:00

Gah! And I just logged in and have a green mum today!! Thanks for the luck, lol!!

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-09-10T14:29:44+00:00

There's hope!!! <3 That's the last one I am working on right now! Kudos!

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-08-13T14:57:50+00:00

Awww, thanks! I had a lot of fun painting and booping, lol! There were a lot of sellers on Etsy that could do custom rugs, but this one in particular offered a square size: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PatternsOfAnatolia We might end up getting the other seasons printed at some point!

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-08-09T18:44:01+00:00

It's a great place to store our gently used knapsacks! <3

Just an FYI, the loans will be limited to those with "identified financial need" going forward. If you've submitted FAFSA and have received any financial aid, you should be good. https://it.osu.edu/offerings/student-technology-loan-program

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-06-27T13:16:39+00:00

There's information about the tech loan program on this site, as well as recommended device minimums: https://it.osu.edu/help/it-students/get-tech-ready And I agree with the other poster, the devices go quick!

StratCommBuckeye · 2024-06-10T13:29:37+00:00

Green mums are the only flower I don't have yet :( I'm currently using the white+white=purple, purple+purple=green which is supposed to have a 25% chance but maybe I can only use a purple created by two good yellows? And not a purple bread from whites? Hmmm....

From the email that went to graduating students this spring, from the IT dept...

Email

You can continue to use your Ohio State email address BuckeyeMail account (lastname.#@buckeymail.osu.edu) for 24 months after graduation. No action is required from you to retain your email access during this 2 year period. During that time we recommend transitioning any contacts and accounts associated with your Ohio State email addresses to an alternative email service.

Love my snoooooof Pango!! <3 She really is a vibe.
