Our No. 28 ranking among all U.S. institutions reflects Ohio State’s strong momentum in translating biomedical research into real-world, life-changing, life-saving impact. Congratulations to the Buckeye scholars who are relentlessly pursuing excellence in innovation! news.osu.edu/ohio-state-ear…

What’s life like as an Ohio State Buckeye? We turned to the experts – our students. I’m so excited to share the first of our new “A Day in the Life” series, first-person accounts of what you can expect when you become part of this amazing community of scholars. Today let’s meet Paige Galperin, a communication and psychology major from Stow, Ohio!

I’m thrilled that Kang Xu is joining the community of world-class scholars here at Ohio State. Our Game Changer Scholars initiative is helping us attract and retain even more top talent, and I know that with Dr. Xu on board, we will continue to be a leader in the exciting field of battery technology. news.osu.edu/game-changer-s…

Levi embodies our vision to grow the workforce and economic vitality across our state. I know he will continue to do great things in his career and in the community! news.osu.edu/new-ohio-state…

"Some discoveries change the way we view the human body.” Loved seeing this guest story in the @nytimes by @OSUWexMed’s very own Dr. Avraham Cooper about fascinating new research on the interstitium, the hidden pathways inside our bodies. The nation pays attention to innovative Ohio State faculty! nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I’m so proud that our @OhioStAthletics student-athletes continue to shine both in and out of the classroom. Ohio State is truly a powerhouse across academics, athletics and so much more. Go Bucks! news.osu.edu/ohio-state-apr…

A great day in Cleveland for the @CrainsCleveland Business Forum, where I joined Ohio higher education colleagues for a panel discussion on what the future holds for colleges and universities. I think we’re building that future here in Ohio, and I’m excited about our opportunities to work together to transform even more lives through the power of higher education. Thanks for having me!

Excited to share a new “Pass the Mic,” spotlighting faculty excellence at Ohio State. Today we meet Dr. Sanjay Krishna, George R. Smith Professor of Engineering in @OSUengineering and a pioneer in the use of infrared imaging in cancer detection, the military, public safety and more. This is Buckeye innovation at work!

I was privileged to help recognize this year’s recipients of our highest faculty honors. These faculty represent the best of the best in teaching, research, engagement, innovation, mentorship and the arts, and we’re proud to call them Buckeyes. Congratulations!

NCAA quarterfinals bound! Let’s go Bucks!

I’m so pleased that our new Career Center of Excellence is building strong early momentum. We’re excited to deepen our partnerships with industry, alumni and community leaders so that our students are set up for post-graduation success. news.osu.edu/ohio-state-car…

Days like today are what it’s all about. I was filled with joy and gratitude as we celebrated 12,300 degrees and certificates earned by our newest class of Buckeye alumni. These students showed incredible grit and perseverance to achieve today’s milestone, and I can’t wait to see how they change the world with their talents, leadership and service. Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Scenes from today’s spring commencement ceremony at the ‘Shoe. Wonderful words of wisdom from our speaker Roe Stamps, and a joyous afternoon with our new Buckeye alumni. From Lalita, myself and our entire team at Ohio State, congratulations graduates! 🎓

Lalita and I enjoyed a beautiful Candlelight Ceremony for the Class of 2026 and their families tonight. It was an honor to be together and reflect on all that these students have experienced and achieved during their time at Ohio State. They’ll be part of the Buckeye family forever. See you tomorrow at the ‘Shoe!

Ohio State can be the finest public university in the country — if we lead with boldness, grit, humility and joy. I’m honored by the opportunity to serve, and I can’t wait to write the next chapter for our land-grant university together. My @DispatchAlerts op-ed:

Congratulations to the impressive student-led startups that earned venture funding in this year’s President’s Buckeye Accelerator. We’re proud to support student entrepreneurship at Ohio State and I applaud all of the teams who worked hard and competed. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy – keep taking risks and chasing those big ideas! news.osu.edu/six-student-ve…

So pleased to be part of this year’s @ohiobrt to share some thoughts on Ohio State’s momentum and opportunities to lead boldly in a new chapter for higher education. Together with our partners in business, education, government and community, we can create truly transformative impact for the people we serve. Thank you for having me for a great day of dialogue and learning, and thanks also to my @OSUWexMed colleagues kicking off the day with an informative session on the future of mental health care.

I was honored to be part of our annual Distinguished Staff Awards event, celebrating 13 colleagues whose excellence in supporting the work and mission of our university makes Ohio State immeasurably stronger. Our staff members play a crucial role in our bold vision for the future, and we’re grateful for all they do. Congratulations to our 2026 honorees!
