Dear Students, Faculty and Staff:
Your efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus continue to pay off. I am proud to be part of such a caring and conscientious Buckeye community. As this challenge continues, you are succeeding every day in advancing our overall mission and building a better world.
Our student seven-day average positivity rate has continued to trend at 0.5% – both on and off campus. When I think of the sacrifices all of you are making to help keep one another, your families and our broader Buckeye community safe, I am inspired. The Buckeye spirit shines even brighter. Let’s continue to be safe around each other and for each other, Together As Buckeyes.
