With aspirations to become one of the world’s great public research and teaching universities, Ohio State is on the move. An ambitious Academic Plan—supported broadly and enthusiastically by various campus and community constituencies—is guiding the university toward a goal of worldwide recognition for distinguished academic programs; high-quality learning experiences; an environment that truly values and is enriched by diversity; and outreach efforts that fulfill our mission as a land-grant institution by addressing society’s most compelling needs.
We are well on our way, thanks to the invaluable support of alumni, friends, and corporate and foundation partners from across the nation and around the world. Your gifts to support scholarships and fellowships, faculty chairs and professorships, research and technology, state-of-the-art new facilities, outreach programs, unrestricted funds, and a wide variety of other projects and initiatives, are already making a huge difference in our ability to reach these goals.
Even so, our vision for this great university demands that we do more. Implementing the strategies and initiatives in the Academic Plan requires our best efforts over a sustained period of time. In light of recent decreases in public funding, we have placed an even greater emphasis on obtaining the resources needed to make that plan reality.
Listed on this page are many important new priorities and ongoing programs in need of your support. Your generosity has made Ohio State great; your further support will ensure our success far into the future.
