“I will always cherish my time as an international student at Ohio State. From day one (which was during the height of the pandemic) until commencement, I felt welcomed and appreciated not despite being international, but because of it. I was able to learn, research and live the life of a Buckeye myself and am grateful to the entire Ohio State community for this experience.”
