Your Student Life: Movember

October 15, 2024

As we head into November, you may start spotting t-shirts or stickers around campus featuring Brutus Buckeye sporting a mustache, and you may be wondering: what’s that all about? 

Every November, Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Service (CCS) hosts Movember, to acknowledge the worldwide Movember campaign that encourages men to grow facial hair in the month of November to raise awareness of men’s physical and mental health issues.

Growing a Mo is like wearing a symbol representing healthier men and a healthier world, all Movember long. It tells everyone you walk past that a healthier world matters.

CCS celebrates the awareness month at Ohio State with a combination of outreach events, activities and partnerships across campus. These events are open to all who wants to learn more about male mental health and well-being.

Join us for our annual Movember Kickoff on November 1, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Ohio Union, for a tailgate style celebration. We’ll have hot chocolate, Movember T-shirts, and an opportunity to connect with staff from Counseling and Consultation Service.
