It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I share that our second student who was hospitalized in critical condition has passed away. Every Buckeye loss is heartbreaking, and these tragic deaths in our community in such a short period of time are devastating.

Our community has suffered a tragic loss with the death of one of our students earlier today. Another student is currently hospitalized in critical condition. A third student has, thankfully, been released from the hospital. We are grieving and extend our deepest sympathies to the students’ family and friends.

As we approach the close of another wonderful semester, I commend each of you for the many ways you contribute to our Ohio State family. Whether you have come here to earn a degree, create new knowledge or grow your career, all of us help advance our university’s founding mission of learning and service in real and meaningful ways. Thank you, and Go Buckeyes!
