Before she came to Ohio State, Sergeant Anna Rice spent eight years in the Army, including time in Iraq.
Rice, a senior studying psychology, is part of a larger community on campus: Nearly 2,700 students, faculty, and staff are military veterans. Last year, she served as president of Vets 4 Vets, an Ohio State student organization established to ease veterans' transitions to campus life.
"It's a community," Rice says. "It’s nice having people to relate to. We're not coming straight from high school. We’re kind of a different walk of life."
In honor of Veterans Day, here are some Ohio State resources and honors for military Buckeyes:
- The Veterans' House is a renovated fraternity house with room for 17 students. (Support the house.)
- The Arnold Skurow Student Veteran Award is awarded to three to five student veterans annually, based on academic excellence, community service, and leadership. (Support the scholarship.)
- Remembrance Park is a public memorial space at the corner of Tuttle Park Place and Woody Hayes Drive, featuring an Honor Brick walkway and a Wall of Honor and Remembrance.
