I love Ohio.

Ohio means a lot to me. Kinda like a second home, just the memories I have here and the fans I made while at Ohio State with the things that I accomplished at that great university.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say that our greatest partnership here at Ohio State should be with the community colleges.

As one of the country's largest land-grant universities, Ohio State must play a critical role in moving our country forward.

It's nice to work with your own alma mater.

The Ohio State University has a rich - if quiet - heritage of the arts.

I believe being president of a private institution is a remarkable experience, but at Ohio State, it's a calling.

Founded when Abraham Lincoln believed education could lead the nation out of its darkest days, Ohio State now provides a powerful platform of interdisciplinary academic programs, world-class scholars, outstanding students, and extensive research capabilities.

I'm very proud of what we've done with the State University and the City University. They're totally different institutions than they were when I took office.

I love working for the people of Ohio, and I have a lot more work to do as their senator.
