The Ohio State University Department of Athletics has created a new position that will work closely with the Varsity O Alumni Societies: Alumni Relations Coordinator, Tammy Savage, a former Ohio State student-athlete from Upper Arlington, Ohio, has been in this new role for less than three months, but she is already laying the foundation of the new position and is ready to make Varsity O the best society it can possibly be.

“I am quite excited to channel my energy into this new role as the Alumni Relations Coordinator,” Savage wrote in an intro letter to the Societies. “For those of you who are unaware, this is a new position for the Department of Athletics and I am confident we are moving in a direction that will promote the continued success of our athletic program and empower our student-athletes.”

Savage’s background includes fundraising, event planning, creating publications and collateral material, membership management, community outreach and working with volunteers to support a variety of programs and initiatives. Her objectives and goals for the Varsity O Alumni Societies echo the goals created when the Societies were first established.

“I am here to help develop, strengthen and create opportunities for member involvement; to promote and support Ohio State Athletics and the student-athlete experience; to maintain alumni connections through relevant programming and activities; to establish procedures and policies that promote administrative accuracy and efficiency and to work and help guide the organization to be the best that it can be with the resources available.”

Savage works out of a second floor office in St. John Arena. She can be reached at (614) 688-3707 or savage.5@osu.edu.
