Welcoming Messages

Welcome to The Ohio State University and this issue of ¿Qué Pasa, OSU?. In its pages you will learn about the many activities and accomplishments of our Hispanic/Latin@ students. But in addition, ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? will introduce you to the richly diverse world of Ohio State. Here, students have the opportunity to study broadly and deeply within an intellectually stimulating environment. Ohio State’s 3,500 world-class faculty offer some 12,000 courses — and nearly 200 majors — to challenge and promote students’ academic progress. Outside the classroom, more than 800 student organizations encourage social and civic involvement.

Ohio State attracts students from more than 100 countries and all 50 of the United States. As the university’s chief academic officer, I am gratified by this diversity and take pride in our commitment to incorporate knowledge, awareness, and appreciation of other cultures and traditions into all aspects of student life. I invite you to become a part of Ohio State’s signature academic experience, one that allows all students to make the most of their unique talents.

For nearly 60 years, The Ohio State University commitment to diversity and inclusion has been growing and paying off. We are a place where diversity of culture and opinion are highly valued.

With the increase of Ohio’s Hispanic/Latin@community, the presence of these cultures has increased and consequently made the community more knowledgeable about, and appreciative of, their values and achievements. We hope that you will add your voice to the cultural chorus that we are building. Be assured that we in the Office of Minority Affairs would be delighted to help you learn more about Ohio State and about how to join our community.

With sincere thanks to the editor, Carlos Castillo, and staff of ¿Qué Pasa, OSU?, we welcome each of you to campus and look forward to serving you hereafter.
