This student-led organization is designed with the first-generation college student in mind, but is open to all Ohio State Lima students. It helps to remove barriers for first-time, first-generation college students by fostering connectedness with their peers, staff, and faculty while enhancing their understanding of university life at Ohio State Lima. Most importantly, Buckeyes First offers students a voice in a safe, inclusive space, so they can know they are not alone on their college journey. Students will enjoy regularly scheduled meetings that provide personal, academic and professional support.
