Dear Student Life team,
Today was a difficult day for our campus community as we grapple with the loss of a Buckeye who was – and will always be – an important part of the Ohio State family.
That said, for today’s High Five Friday I think it is most important to thank and appreciate all who have responded and assisted in supporting those directly touched by today’s tragic loss.
I am forever Scarlet and Grateful for the way the entire Student Life team pulls together during difficult times. Please take good care and have a restful weekend.
