I am impressed every day by the spirit you all are showing. With compassion and good will in your hearts, you are advancing anti-racist efforts through peaceful protest, dialogue and hard work. With care for your fellow Buckeyes, you are driving down the positivity rate by doing your part and rigorously following our safe and healthy practices day in and day out. You are making a difference. Keep it up.

I look forward to sharing with you all my “Reflections of a First-Year Buckeye.” These will be weekly dispatches about life on our campuses, our work, our progress meeting the challenges we face, and your successes as students, faculty and staff. As my “freshman” year progresses, we’ll learn, share and reflect — Together As Buckeyes.
