Time and Change: The Ohio State Campaign

Being a Buckeye means more than just giving back — we pay forward to the world around us.

The unique size and spirit of the Ohio State community has brought us to a milestone moment. Though the record-breaking Time and Change: The Ohio State Campaign ended this spring, its impact will be felt for generations. 

More than 814,000 proud members of Buckeye Nation contributed to Time and Change, empowering students, advancing research and patient care, and helping people thrive. Volunteers across the country and around the world answered the call to lend a hand, generously giving their time to better our communities. 

This fundraising campaign was so much bigger than financial contributions — it’s about being part of something extraordinary that makes the future brighter for all. And that commitment to paying forward is carried on by Buckeyes everywhere. It’s who we are; it’s what we do. Below you can read more stories about all the ways they continue to make a difference in the world.
