What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
For me, being a Buckeye means embracing a legacy of excellence, resilience, and community. It’s about upholding traditions, supporting fellow Buckeyes, and striving for success in academics, leadership, and service. Buckeye Pride is about embodying values of diversity, innovation, and determination. Whether you are cheering in the Shoe, engaging in groundbreaking research, or giving back to the community, being a Buckeye means belonging to something greater than yourself—a lifelong network of passionate, driven individuals. It’s about making an impact, leading with integrity, and always carrying the spirit of Ohio State forward. Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye!
