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 Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University play a crucial role in changing these statistics.
"No University demonstrates the return on investment in public higher ed as well as Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State," says President Todd Diacon. 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, Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State 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: "Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State works."
On this National Higher Education Day, Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State continues its mission of working for a stronger Ohio, a better world, and a brighter future—one student at a time.
