Outreach

Caleb Zender has sought a variety of experiences on his academic and professional journey. A fourth-year student at The Ohio State University, he’s pursuing a degree in engineering physics with a focus on mechanical engineering, alongside a minor in music—a balance of science and creativity that reflects his broad range of interests. 

For many students, internships serve as a catalyst for gaining real-world experience. For Ashton South, a computer science and engineering major at The Ohio State University, her role at the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) has provided her with the chance to develop valuable skills and work on significant projects in the field of high performance computing (HPC). 

When Justin Meyer was preparing to leave South Africa for college, he knew he wanted to find a place that offered a small-town environment with a strong program in game development. After researching his options, Shawnee State University stood out as the perfect fit. 

The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH), a division of the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE), is dedicated to advancing education, workforce development, scientific research and innovation for Ohio. Composed of three organizations — OARnet, OhioLINK and the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) — OH-TECH participated in a diverse range of outreach initiatives in 2023 to engage the communities it serves and connect to new audiences. 

When Nicholas Johnson was in high school, he kept hearing that he should avoid office jobs because he wouldn't like working 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. behind a desk.

But Johnson decided to try an office position first before writing off the work environment. He applied for a position with the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and was hired in late 2019. OSC is part of the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH), a division of the Ohio Department of Higher Education.

The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH), a division of the Ohio Department of Higher Education, delivers world-class technologies, information and expertise to provide Ohioans with a strong foundation for education and workforce development, scientific research and business innovation.

The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) celebrated the major milestones of its member technology infrastructure organizations as they observed notable anniversaries in 2022. OH-TECH, the umbrella organization for the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK), also marked its 10th year of service to the State of Ohio.
