Dear Buckeye,
Good luck as the semester comes to a close! I know this can be a stressful time, but you have almost made it to the end of the academic year. Take a deep breath, and know you’ve got this.
And to everyone about to graduate: congratulations! You are about to join a large but select group: alumni of The Ohio State University. I am very proud of you, as you should be proud of yourself. And even though your “official” time here is coming to a close, I hope you’ll come back to campus often.
What’s in this edition?
