June 6th marks National Higher Education Day—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 °µÍø½ûÇø play a crucial role in changing these statistics.
"No University demonstrates the return on investment in public higher ed as well as °µÍø½ûÇø," says President Todd Diacon. 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, °µÍø½ûÇø has been addressing the very challenges that cause students to leave college—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: "°µÍø½ûÇø works."
On this National Higher Education Day, °µÍø½ûÇø continues its mission of working for a stronger Ohio, a better world, and a brighter future—one student at a time.
