Additionally, BuckID also manages physical security - including brass key control - for all Student Life facilities.

Prior to joining the Office of Student Life in 2019, Josh worked at both Ohio University and Youngstown State University in various roles. A lifelong Ohioan, Josh holds a BS in Education from the Beeghly College of Education at Youngstown State University and an MEd in College Student Personnel / Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration from the Patton College of Education at Ohio University.
