Ohio State vs. Texas Christian University
Greetings!

A little rain couldn't stop our Buckeyes from earning their first B1G win vs. Rutgers, 52-3, on Saturday. Even the redshirt freshman quarterback, Tate Martell, earned some playing time during this win...he even earned himself B1G co-Freshman of the Week honors Read more

However, this week is a big test for our Buckeyes as they travel to the location of their 2014 National Championship to take on a team they just barely edged out of the College Football Playoff: the No. 15 TCU Horned Frogs. Join us for the 8pm kickoff at Malta Recovery Sports Grill (address below)! Per our Watch Party tradition, we will be doing our usual halftime raffle of Buckeye prizes in an effort to raise money for our scholarship fund!

All Watch Parties are at:

A Successful Alumni Symposium for our Club Leaders
Club President, Mary Thomas, and Club Publicity Chair, Jason Homan, road-tripped to Columbus last week to take part in the annual Alumni Association Symposium for Club & Society Leaders. This is a 2-day educational experience that allows leaders and staff from the Alumni Association to share best practices and updates with each other. Read on and check out some of the highlights from this trip...
Mary holds our official "Outstanding Club" certificate for 2018. Our club earned this honor by completing service and event requirements established by the Association. We couldn't have achieved this without your support and involvement!
Two of our local sophomore students, Paige Gunderman (back right) & Sija Los (front right), joined Mary and Jason for a late dinner at Sloopy's Diner in the Ohio Union after Day 1 of the Symposium. They LOVE Ohio State and are both getting involved in activities outside of their classes.
President of the University, Michael V. Drake, provided updates and spoke about the vision of Ohio State at the conclusion of the symposium. He focused on current initiatives to lower the rate of Buckeyes graduating with student debt through the elimination of unnecessary fees and expanding scholarship awards to those students that need it most.
A trip to Columbus wouldn't be complete without tickets to a football game - don't worry, Mary and Jason paid for these themselves!

Overall, it was a very successful trip, and Mary and Jason are excited to share what they've learned with the rest of our Board to implement at the benefit of our entire club. To see more pictures of their trip, Click Here

Also, there were so many good pictures of the NEW Mirror Lake, that we had to include a separate link Click Here for those pictures

Ongoing Community Service Project at Watch Parties
Our Club collects non-perishable items for the Fisher House and Guardian House, as part of an ongoing community service project. Both locations offer support for local Veterans and rely on support from their local communities. Please consider bringing paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper, facial tissue), laundry and dish soaps, shampoo and other toiletries, Saran Wrap, resealable plastic bags, etc. to any of our Watch Parties in Malta to help with this project. Thanks for considering and Go Bucks!
