Students and staff may have noticed a change when walking through the MU concourse recently. The OSU Guest Services office, which many students may not realize exists, has undergone a large remodel. OSU sociology student Kaleena Tuffo, who interacts frequently with the guest services office, said that she likes the new office very much.

Funding will not impact those students whose applications have already been approved, as that money has already been allotted.
