What I do.
Dear Students:
Valentine’s Day is traditionally a day for declaring one’s
affections, and so I send this note to let you know how much I
appreciate each and every one of you. Our numerous campuses create one
University with a huge heart, and I see evidence of your caring at every
turn.
On this Valentine’s Day, I want to celebrate your incredible spirit,
which covers every corner of Ohio. I love the spirit that I see this
winter as we cheer on the Buckeyes in the “Nuthouse” at the
Schottenstein Center, or spend evenings at Woody’s in the Ohio Union.
Your enthusiasm warms a brutally cold February.
And now, I issue a challenge: Smile. Even if you are having the worst
day ever. I guarantee that it will lift your mood, people will smile
back, and eventually your day will not seem so challenging. Just try it.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
