Academic Excellence Fostering an atmosphere of academic excellence
 

The sine qua non of a great university is academic excellence, as measured by the quality of the research, scholarship, and graduates it produces along with their collective impact on the larger society. To be a great university, the prevailing culture must demand excellence in all endeavors.

That excellence can only be achieved when all parts of the University — administration, faculty, staff, students, and alumni — are committed to the highest standards of performance. Ohio State is committed to such an environment of academic excellence.

Diversity - In Ohio State's diversity there is strength  
 

Ohio State is a place that draws strength from the diversity of our state and the cultural richness of our world; a place where one can challenge the ideas of another while affirming the human dignity of all; a place where diversity is not just tolerated but, rather, is seen as an essential source of our excellence and a defining characteristic of our community.

If we can draw upon our diversity to create a university of excellence, then Ohio State will not only serve as a model for the nation, it also can be a catalyst for the creation of a more just society, one built on tolerance, respect, and a sense of shared destiny.

Outreach & Engagement - Connecting our strength to the world -
 

Our commitment to Outreach and Engagement at Ohio State means a commitment to a meaningful and mutually beneficial collaboration with partners in education, business, public and social service.

It represents that aspect of teaching that enables learning beyond the campus walls, that aspect of research that makes what we discover useful beyond the academic community, that aspect of service that directly benefits the public.

Ohio State holds a position as one of the nation's preeminent research institutions. One of Ohio State's key initiatives for the future is to expand upon that reputation as a research leader and further provide an outlet for the creative energies (and potential entrepreneurial talents) of our faculty.

We must nurture their efforts at innovation and encourage their collaboration with the private sector. Ohio State's goal is to become a wellspring of knowledge for the state and world at large, a global network of intellectual and cultural research resources.
