Be a ROUTES Unlimited Active Participant

How to show ROUTES Unlimited (RU) that you really know "What's Cooking!"

The ROUTES Unlimited Credo 

Through active participation in ROUTES Unlimited connection and experiential learning pathways at The Ohio State University, students learn, develop, and use the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained through the program to make a positive impact in their communities.  

This active participation is based on these three RU core values:

  • Development — caring for yourself while supporting others on and off-campus. ​
  • Community — living, learning, and problem-solving by exploring multiple ways of seeing things on campus and beyond.​
  • Responsibility — applying skills to academic, professional, and civic life in local, national and global contexts.

Active Participants in ROUTES Unlimited demonstrate a commitment to these values by:​

  • Being actively involved in at least five (5) ROUTES Unlimited experiences or five (5) ACTION TEAM planning meetings per semester.​
  • Completing at least three (3) ROUTES Unlimited feedback/assessment forms or discussions each semester. ​
  • Having their active participation status formally acknowledged by ROUTES Unlimited ACTION TEAM ​
  • Demonstrating the tenets of the ROUTES Unlimited credo
