What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
Being a Buckeye means embracing the endless opportunities afforded to us and viewing the world as the best classroom. Ohio State's motto, "Education for Citizenship," reflects the belief that true learning extends beyond the classroom, shaping individuals through lived experience. To be a Buckeye is to use our knowledge to be in service to others and champion people first in every space we enter. I am grateful to be leaving Ohio State with more than an education, but a community of people committed to carrying the responsibility of creating transformative change wherever we go.
