Centuries of Earth’s history depends on your support
Help preserve the keys to our climate future
Help preserve the keys to our climate future Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center raised from gifts For almost 40 years, Byrd Center scientists at Ohio State have been racing against a warming climate to collect and preserve ice cores from tropical glaciers before they melt and are lost forever. Byrd’s tropical ice core collection is the largest in the world and is recognized by the scientific community as a unique archive of our planet’s climate history; the oldest ice in the Byrd collection is estimated to be ~600,000 years old. If the cores — each 4 to 5 inches across and about a yard long — were lined up, they would stretch about 4.5 miles long. The ice cores contain frozen records of past temperature and samples of ancient air, dust, pollen, and even viruses and bacteria. These records allow us to predict our climate future by better understanding historical conditions that resulted from varying CO₂ concentrations and temperatures. These samples are in imminent danger of being lost. The facility is over 30 years old, has exceeded its storage capacity and reached the end of its useful life. If the facility is not replaced immediately, the current core collection could be lost, and there's little space to add cores from future drilling projects. You can help Byrd Polar scientists preserve these essential ice core samples by giving to the Ice Core Facility Renovation Fund. Will you make a gift today to ensure Byrd Polar’s ability to document Earth’s climate history while preserving priceless frozen archives for the next generation of scientists?

In the 2024-2025 school year, 1,035 students will complete a total of 440,400 field placement hours at 445 sites. The majority of field placement sites are not able to pay students. And as students spend anywhere from 12-30 hours each week at these agencies, they must often reduce their employment hours, causing challenges meeting basic needs such as food security, health and childcare costs, transportation costs and rent. Rochelle, MSW student, shares the impact of funding on her social work journey. Sara, a recent alum, shares how funding impacted her student journey. It is our goal to one day be able to provide financial support for every student in our program to reduce the financial challenges of higher education and focus on preparing the next generation of social work professionals in communities across the country. We hope you will consider contributing to this crucial campaign. About Day of Giving When there are calls for support, Buckeyes are ready to answer.

College of Veterinary Medicine raised from gifts Through innovation in education, research, outreach and service, The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine is creating a healthy and sustainable world for animals and people. The college is a national and global leader in veterinary and comparative medicine and research, and is training the next generation of veterinarians who will lead the field of veterinary medicine alongside over 8,500 alumni who are practicing in all 50 states and 40 countries. The College of Veterinary Medicine has a goal of eliminating one year of tuition for every veterinary student through scholarships. A student interested in working in a rural area as a large animal or equine veterinarian may choose to switch career paths to an urban small animal practice due to their large debt load, as the higher future earnings in urban small animal practice will allow them to pay down debt more quickly. Less debt means those interested in pursuing veterinary medicine in rural areas will have more career options, which helps reduce the workforce shortage in farm animal, equine and mixed animal practices. You can help future Buckeye veterinarians complete their education with less debt — give today to the College of Veterinary Medicine Scholarship Fund and enhance the health and well-being of animals and people.
