Get Maudine to the 'Shoe

One hundred years ago, Ohio State students rallied around a common goal: getting Maudine to Homecoming. Their determination created a legend and left a lasting mark on our college's history.

Today, that same spirit lives on.

As we celebrate Maudine's Homecoming centennial, alumni, friends and supporters have the chance to come together once again. Every gift helps move Maudine one step closer to Homecoming while creating opportunities for today's CFAES students to learn, lead and succeed.

Every Gift Moves Maudine Forward

Just as students joined forces 100 years ago, we're inviting the entire CFAES family to help get Maudine to Homecoming.

As donor milestones are reached:

• Maudine travels to her next destination on campus
• She picks up another Homecoming accessory along the way
• New milestones unlock and the journey continues
• Our community celebrates each step together

You can follow Maudine's progress from Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory to the CFAES Homecoming Tailgate and ultimately to Ohio Stadium, where she'll arrive fully dressed for Homecoming, thanks to the collective generosity of Buckeyes like you.

Why Your Gift Matters

The journey may be playful, but the impact is real.

Every gift made through this campaign supports CFAES students. You gift goes directly to the CFAES Student Experiences Fund, an important resource used to create experiences, tools, and opportunities that help CFAES students thrive both inside and outside the classroom. 

When you give, you are investing in people and your belief in their potential. 

You're helping the next generation write their own CFAES story.
