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 ¾ÛÉ«¸ó play a crucial role in changing these statistics.
"No University demonstrates the return on investment in public higher ed as well as ¾ÛÉ«¸ó," 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, ¾ÛÉ«¸ó 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: "¾ÛÉ«¸ó Works."
On this National Higher Education Day, ¾ÛÉ«¸ó continues its mission of working for a stronger Ohio, a better world and a brighter future — one student at a time.
