Leaders in Family and Consumer Sciences Education (LFCSE)

While you are a student at Ohio State in the FCS ED program, you will participate in the Leaders in Family and Consumer Sciences Education (LFCSE) student organization. This is a group of Ohio State students majoring in FCS ED who take classes together and support each other. LFCSE is an FCS ED student organization that serves as a communication channel between students and faculty in Family and Consumer Sciences Education at The Ohio State University. Involvement in this group connects you with others who are preparing to become FCS (Family and Consumer Sciences) teachers. We take time to get to know each other by sharing class notes, ideas about teaching, and our personal lives. When you choose the FCS ED program option, please look for LFCSE meetings and workshop announcements posted on the bulletin board outside the Columbia Gas Lounge in Campbell Hall. We look forward to meeting you!
