The OSU Student Foundation was created in 2007, incorporating its design from several highly successful student foundation organizations across the country. After seeing a need for increased student interaction with donors and alumni, the OSU Foundation created StuFu. Our students serve as ambassadors of the Foundation, participating in Foundation events and using their talents to thank those who have chosen to invest in OSU's bright future.
