Family, friends, students, faculty, and staff came together in Ohio State Marion’s Guthery Community Room on Thursday, December 11th to celebrate a group of Buckeyes standing on the precipice of a new chapter in their lives, the move from college to career. Graduating college is one of those rare life moments that feel both huge and strangely quiet at the same time — like standing in the doorway between who you were and who you’re about to become.
Philanthropists Dick and Ted Foster recently visited The Ohio State University at Marion, seeing firsthand how their family’s extraordinary generosity is shaping the next generation of educators.
First Gen Friday is a monthly first-person narrative written by other first generation college students who are now fellow faculty, staff, and students at Ohio State Marion. The goal of the stories is to provide advice to other first generation college students and create a sense of belonging among the campus community.
