Reflections of a First-Year Buckeye: New semester, Education for Citizenship President Johnson announces upcoming discussion series on the state of our democracy The Ohio State University President Kristina M. Johnson sent the following email to The Ohio State University community today (Jan. 12). Dear Students, Faculty and Staff: Last night, a remarkable football season came to an end in the national championship game. I couldn’t be more proud of our team. Their accomplishments and perseverance throughout this most-challenging season are inspiring. Buckeye Nation is nothing if not resilient. We thank our team – the players, coaches and staff – who lifted us up, brought us together and gave us a lot to cheer about these past four months.
