What does it mean to be a Buckeye?
When I was less than one year old, my parents immigrated to the United States to take up faculty positions at Ohio State. To me, Ohio State isn’t just a school. It isn’t just a place where I’ve found my passions or met some of my closest friends. It’s more than that — being a Buckeye means being at home, surrounded by a community of students, faculty, alumni and fans. Being a Buckeye, to me, means using every resource I’ve been gifted to make a difference on campus, and around the world.
