"What I did this summer"

From studying soil in Senegal to touring a mustard factory in Springfield, Buckeyes--including President Gee--stayed busy between Ohio State�s last spring quarter and first autumn semester.

The president covered 39 counties in six days, visiting homegrown Ohio businesses such as Snowville Creamery and American Mug and Stein Co. "We go and see things that are real products of Ohio, and real ways for us to fly our flag internationally,� says Gee. �It�s a way to show the people of Ohio that we love them.� Read about his 41-stop state tour.

Meanwhile, students ventured across the country and beyond, volunteering in Ghana, studying in China, and interning at ESPN and Disney. Check out their summer stories, told in their own words.
