I know many are feeling anxious, uncertain and distracted as a result of this significant unanswered question. As we wait for all votes to be counted and for the outcome of this pivotal race to be finalized, let’s remind ourselves that, no matter who wins or loses, it is vital to our democracy and our Buckeye community that our post-election dialogue remains respectful and peaceful.

Voting is the keystone of our democracy. I am personally very excited to participate this year as part of the Ohio State community. Regardless of whom you support, let’s get out the vote, Buckeyes, and make each of our voices heard.

My college visits are a highlight of my first-year Buckeye experience. Learning from you where you study, teach, perform and practice is enlightening. I am particularly interested to see our university’s founding land-grant mission in action — whether through teaching and learning, convergent research and scholarship, or outreach and engagement efforts.
