Movember

Every November, Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Service hosts Movember, an awareness month part of the worldwide Movember campaign that encourages men to grow facial hair in the month of November in order to raise awareness of physical and mental health issues. CCS celebrates the awareness month at Ohio State with a combination of outreach events, activities and partnerships across campus. This year, the Ohio State Esports Arena is working with Counseling and Consultation Service and the Student Wellness Center on a series of gaming-related events during Movember.
