What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
Being a Buckeye means to embrace the traditions, cultures, and identities that bring us together under this great state and institution. Buckeyes strive for the highest levels of excellence while being the trailblazers for everlasting change. There is a quote that states, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” There were giants that have allowed us to stand on their shoulders, and it is our duty as Buckeyes to pay it forward by allowing those after us to stand on ours.
