  3. One Big Week: Buckeyes Give

    1Big Week graphic

    For more than 125 years, the institutions that make up the Big Ten have been leaders in shaping the collegiate experience. A defining pillar of this leadership has always been supporting our students.

    From September 12 – 18, the One Big Week Campaign will unite our Big Ten institutions to collectively champion our students. During this time, every gift made to Ohio State will support scholarships — and students’ futures.

    Scholarships are a lifeline. Financial assistance is crucial to students’ success, empowering them to focus on their studies, pursue internships and volunteer in our communities to become tomorrow’s leaders.

    You can create change for generations of Buckeyes, and for all of us, as they go out into the world and make it better.

  6. Return to campus. Return to Tradition

    We’re feeling a lot of gratitude as we return — in person! — to CFAES this fall.

    We’re grateful for CFAES’ valued donors, who make it possible for so many students to attend this prestigious college — students who otherwise might not have had the opportunity…valued donors who also, through their generous gifts, are growing and transforming our Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory.

    We’re grateful for the new connections we made at Waterman as students ourselves — connections to agriculture, to the soil, to plants and animals (including a helpful, lovely, cannulated Jersey cow named Lenore) … and for the growing future opportunities for people to make new connections at Waterman too — including, ideally, every student at Ohio State! (You can read about one such opportunity, the coming new Multispecies Animal Learning Center, here.)

    We’re grateful that CFAES’ research is back in full swing. That together we’re moving in a positive direction because of our loyal donor support. That together we serve an important mission: We Sustain Life.

    We’re grateful in the end, of course, for you. We thank you for your support, and Go Bucks!
