From President Kristina M. Johnson: We are proud to announce our 2020 Royal Buckeyes, two students elected from our Homecoming Court. This year’s Royals are Ose Arheghan and Ishan Patel. I know you join me in recognizing all 22 members of our Homecoming Court. These students were chosen for their leadership, integrity and contributions to our community, and I was delighted to be part of this month’s virtual recognition ceremony. This year marks the 108th anniversary of Homecoming at Ohio State. Though we cannot celebrate as we usually would, our students continue to exemplify the unshakable Buckeye spirit.

Ishan Patel is a Physics Major from Dublin, Ohio. He is involved in Buckeye Leadership Fellows, BuckeyeThon, Office of Student Life - Development Assistant, Research Assistant - Department of Chemistry.

Ishan says, "Being a Buckeye means that no matter where you are in the world, you can shout out an “O-H” and get an “I-O” back. Ohio State’s strength is in its people, and the Buckeye community is one that deeply values excellence, integrity, and the human connection. To be a Buckeye is to live out these values, while working alongside your fellow Buckeyes to make the world a better place."

Congratulations!
