June 6th marks National Higher Education Day β€” a reminder of the transformative power of education and the challenges facing students across the nation. With fewer than half of first-time college students completing their degrees within six years, institutions like Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ play a crucial role in changing these statistics.
"No University demonstrates the return on investment in public higher ed as well as Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ State," President Todd Diacon said. The proof lies not just in graduation rates, but in the life-changing experiences happening daily across campus and the achievements of alumni making their mark throughout Ohio and beyond.
Since 1910, Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ State has been addressing the very challenges that cause students to leave college β€” financial difficulties and academic preparedness. Through comprehensive support systems, innovative programs and a commitment to student success, the university embodies its simple yet powerful motto: "Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ State Works."
On this National Higher Education Day, Βι¶ΉΣ°ΤΊ State continues its mission of working for a stronger Ohio, a better world and a brighter future β€” one student at a time.
