Special notice regarding tickets to USC vs. OSU game
The College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Alumni Society is excited to announce that September 11-13, 2009 will be the University Reunion Weekend. On Saturday, September 12th Ohio State will play the Trojans from USC. At this time we do not have details about ticket allocations, but here is what you need to know.
Tickets will only be available to those alumni who are graduates of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and dues-paying members of The Ohio State University Alumni Association, Inc. Tickets must be purchased with our tailgate event. You are limited to two tickets per household, not per membership. It is our desire to maximize the number of alumni who can attend Reunion Weekend. The person purchasing the tickets must be the person who uses the tickets. Anyone caught reselling their tickets may lose future rights to purchase football tickets through the Alumni Association and our Society.
Alumni who receive season tickets via President's Club, Buckeye Club, Faculty/Staff, Varsity O Women, Varsity O Men football or long time season ticket purchase holders WILL NOT be eligible to receive tickets through Society Reunion Weekend, but we hope you will join us for the tailgate. Alumni who receive tickets to the USC game through the Alumni Association's lottery will not be eligible to receive tickets through Reunion Weekend and again we hope you will join us for the tailgate. All applications will be double-checked with University databases to insure compliance to this policy. We expect the demand for this game to exceed our supply and thus a lottery will be held to determine the ticket allocation. More details will be announced as we confirm all information for Reunion Weekend '09.
If you have any questions, please write to miller.64@osu.edu or pasternak.6@osu.edu. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in September!

Parking Information
http://tp.osu.edu/Events/football.shtml
With the State Route 315 construction re-routing people coming and going from Ohio State through November, the university is now broadcasting round-the-clock driving directions via its new station, 1650 AM. The directions highlight what SR 315 ramps remain accessible and turn-by-turn information to reach the Medical Center and the Veterinary Teaching Hospital - which are the top destinations for those unfamiliar with OSU. Directions on how to leave the campus via SR 315, 670 East and Interstate 71 also are provided. The university signed a 10-year lease for the radio frequency, and information will be updated as conditions change.
