What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
To me, to be a Buckeye means to be a part of something much greater than yourself. You gain a family of people from all walks of life, from all around the world, but who all bleed scarlet and gray. You are encouraged to pursue your passions and enact change in the world. You are a part of a community where the Buckeye pride runs deep, and even after your time ends at THE Ohio State University, you will always be a part of Buckeye Nation. “Time and change will surely show, how firm thy friendship, OHIO.”

What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
To me, being a Buckeye is being aware that you are part of a rich and diverse community and using that awareness to serve the community as best you can. Serving the Buckeye community can include, joining student organizations, working on campus, or volunteering your time to a cause that you care about. The most important aspect of service is the attitude of care and respect towards others that should drive it. Being a Buckeye is caring about the well-being of those around you and doing what you can to promote that well-being.

What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
It means that I am a part of a community that wants to better our future through education, rationality, and empathy. Since I’ve been a buckeye on the Newark campus, the faculty and staff have emphasized the importance of giving back to the community as well as establishing a safe and rewarding campus culture. Being a buckeye is much more than a earning a degree to me, it’s involving myself in people that care and want the best for our future.

What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
To me, being a Buckeye means being a part of a family. The Buckeye family has a rich history of success and victory and to be a Buckeye means to come out on top. Being a Buckeye to me is such an honor, and I feel like I am a part of something that is so much bigger than myself that I can take part and immerse myself in and feel accepted. I also feel like what it means to be a Buckeye is to be prepared to take on any challenge. From my experience in my first year I have already climbed over several tough life obstacles and I feel like my time here will prepare me to take on any problem the future has to offer. To be a Buckeye is to be proud and I feel proud to say I go to The Ohio State University.

What does it mean to be a Buckeye:
Simply put, it means to be a community. A community of people who are simultaneously unique yet also share so much in common. A community to back each other up on our worst days and cheer each other on on our best days. A community that grows together and shares memories with each other. A community where we find and build long-lasting relationships, learn essential life skills, and go on to mold who we will be in the future. It means taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will be remembered for years to come.
