What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
Being a Buckeye means being part of a community that uplifts one another. It’s about embracing a culture of resilience, community, and unwavering support for all. To be a Buckeye is to uplift those around you, lead traditions with integrity, and push for a better future and society. For me, it means using my experiences to give back and create spaces where people feel valued. Through mentorship, advocacy, and showing up for our peers, Buckeyes will always be part of something bigger than ourselves. Our community is one where everyone belongs and collectively grows, making a meaningful impact together.
