Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society

The Ohio State University’s motto, Disciplina in Civitatem, or “education for citizenship,” is not merely a slogan; it is an exhortation to remain focused on the responsibility to develop an informed, engaged, and civic-minded citizenry. It is essential to fulfilling Ohio State’s land-grant mission.

The Salmon P. Chase Center is a multidisciplinary university center that conducts teaching, research, and public programming concerning the core texts and great debates of Western civilization; the principles, ideals, and institutions of the American and Ohio political order; and the foundations of responsible leadership and informed citizenship. It is an independent academic unit of the University. The Center is a leader of the growing cadre of similar centers of civic thought and leadership in Ohio and throughout the country, as well as in the K-12 classical and liberal arts school movement.

The Student Recruiter may spend 4-8 business days each month traveling regionally to engage in recruiting activities.

Finally, the Student Recruiter will be expected to handle all interactions with enthusiasm, civility, respect, and professionalism to promote and create a welcoming atmosphere for faculty, students, and families. He or she will also maintain confidentiality in all matters of business responsibility and student involvement.
