Thanksgiving nears, and our thoughts turn to those things for which we are most grateful. As president of this great University, I feel blessed beyond measure for countless reasons. Below, I share the Top 10 things I am grateful for this Thanksgiving:
10. Your 384,000 hours of community service last year
9. Warhol at the Wexner Center
8. Our remarkable faculty, whose research ranks us 9th nationally
7. The Best Damn Band in the Land
6. Ohio State’s most-qualified freshman class ever
5. Senator John Glenn, for his service to the University, the state, and the nation
4. Students’ overwhelming participation in this month’s elections
3. Our first LEED-certified building (Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center)
2. Ohio State’s huge contingent of international students, 14th-largest nationally
1. 42-7 – enough said!
Best wishes for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Gordon Gee
