Investiture

The Ohio State University is one of the most impactful and far-reaching public institutions of higher education in the country. For Buckeyes, however, excellence is not a destination — it is a pursuit. It is a commitment to evolve and improve for the benefit of Ohioans and all those who are impacted by our work. 

During his investiture, President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. will lay out a vision for how the Ohio State community will continue this pursuit of excellence, define success and achieve it over the next decade.
