Welcome to Our New Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving

Amy Jo Baughman

The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences has a new director of alumni engagement and annual giving.

"This college has a strong alumni base, and we are so excited to engage with all of you," said Amy Jo Baughman, who joined the CFAES Advancement Team this month.

She already knows the college well. In her previous role, she was coordinator of prospective student services within CFAES Academic Programs. Amy Jo is a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. She has a BS and an MS from the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership, focusing on education and international development. 

"Amy Jo brings with her a passion for the college, its mission, and many connections throughout our alumni and stakeholders," CFAES Chief Advancement Officer Keith DiDonato said.  

Amy Jo has been actively involved with the National Agricultural Alumni and Development Association (NAADA) and with the College Outreach Group through CFAES.  Having grown up on a sheep farm in Fayette County, Ohio, she has strong ties to both the National FFA Organization and to Ohio 4-H. On a personal note, she is married to an alumnus of the School of Environment and Natural Resources. Also, she enjoys running.
