Sharing kindness is part of being a Buckeye, and while it happens all year at Ohio State, it carries special meaning in this month. February 13 is World Kindness Day and February 17 is Random Acts of Kindness Day.  Over the next two weeks, foster connections and boost happiness throughout our Buckeye community. Let's share kindness together, make a positive impact on our community by encouraging graduate faculty, staff and students in ways that matter most. 

We are still accepting Mentoring Month Mini-Grants through the month of February! Departments and programs, graduate faculty and staff, and graduate student organizations are invited to apply for a Mentoring Month Mini Grant of up to $500 to host an event or initiative to recognize mentors and mentees or celebrate mentorship. Email mentoring@osu.edu with any questions.
