Ohio State University President Ted Carter unveiled his 10-year strategic plan for Ohio State's future, called "Education for Citizenship 2035."

The plan includes new scholarships, such as free tuition and fees for qualifying regional campus students and Ohioans with perfect test scores.

Ohio State will invest in six specific colleges, hire 100 new AI experts, and launch a $100 million initiative to attract top faculty.

From free college tuition for qualifying regional campus students to a new in-person center that helps Buckeyes find paid internships, changes are coming Ohio State's way.

At his second State of the University address on Sept. 17, Ohio State University President Ted Carter unveiled his long-term goals for Ohio State, titled "Education for Citizenship 2035." The 10-year plan has been about 20 months in the making since Carter took office in January 2024, but the president spent the first several months of his tenure conferring with university leaders about their vision for Ohio State's future.

Though Carter teased Education for Citizenship 2035 at his November 2024 investiture, his State of the University address marks the end of an era for Carter - a shift from the "listen-and-learn" phase of his presidency toward a plan for concrete action.

"Thanks to our Board of Trustees and many others, we have the plan ready," Carter told the crowd. "Because of our position of strength, because of our financial stability and our strength, we are ready to move forward.

Carter is well aware of the criticism surrounding how long it took for this plan to see the light of day. In an interview with reporters before his address, Carter acknowledged the time it's taken to bring forward what he called "maybe some of the biggest announcements" in the university's history.

"I know some people think that we've been dragging this out," Carter said. "The truth is, it takes this long to get it right and get it through all of the fiduciary oversight processes."

Now, the Buckeye community doesn't have to wait any longer.

Between adding full-ride scholarships for Ohioans with perfect test scores, investing $100 million into maintaining the most distinguished faculty and making Ohio State the No. 1 university for military veterans, Carter made it clear he believes the university is the " future of higher education," and this plan is how he intends to make that happen.

New scholarships

As of 2026, Ohio State will be offering three new scholarship opportunities to students:

Buckeye Bridge, a program that allows low-to-middle-income Ohioans - or those whose families have an adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less - to qualify for an Ohio State bachelor's degree without paying tuition and fees after they've earned an associate degree from Columbus State Community College.

The President's Scholars Program, whereby any student from Ohio who earns a perfect ACT or SAT score in one sitting will get the full cost of attendance to Ohio State covered, plus a $5,000 research stipend.

Any student from Ohio whose family has an adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less and who attends one of Ohio State's regional campuses for a year with good academic standing can transfer to the main campus and have tuition and fees covered

Carter said the impetus for these three new scholarships was to create pathways that make college more accessible.

"To make [schools] successful, to take them to that next level, we have to continually think about 'What are the people of the United States saying about education?'" Carter said. "One of the things they say is 'It just costs too much.'"

'Investing in ourselves'

Carter announced that Ohio State would be investing more money into the following six colleges:

Fisher College of Business

College of Engineering

College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

Moritz College of Law

College of Medicine

Select programs within the College of Arts and Sciences, including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, political science and psychology

In his pre-address interview with reporters, Carter said he has an idea of how much will be invested into each college, but he doesn't want to divulge the details yet.

The university is also undergoing a $100 million initiative to attract and retain the world's best faculty, with the money coming from philanthropic donations and university investments. Carter told reporters he's looking for potential faculty members with a "significant research portfolio," and that $20 million has already been raised.

Separate from the $100 million investment, Carter said the university is hiring an additional 100 artificial intelligence experts - on top of the 300 it already has - to be part of the recently announced AI Fluency initiative for students.

"The point here is where most universities have frozen their budgets, stopped hiring, are laying people off, shutting down their Ph.D pipeline programs for fear of not having research grants - we're not doing that," Carter told reporters. "We're doing the opposite."

Campus internship center

Ohio State will soon be home to a "Career Services Center of Excellence," a centralized office where Carter said students can gather to get help finding internships - and not just any kind.

"I expect every undergraduate student to get a paid internship experience while they are here at Ohio State," Carter said.

Carter specified that this facet of the 10-year plan will "take a little while" to get up and running, but told reporters that it will eventually take form in an in-person building on campus.

Making Ohio State more 'veteran-friendly'

Currently, Carter said Ohio State - with around 2,300 veteran or veteran-affiliated students - is ranked as the No. 25 most veteran-friendly university in the United States.

And Carter doesn't just want the Buckeyes to be more veteran-friendly, he wants Ohio State to be the No. 1 most veteran-friendly university in the country.

He added that Ohio State will be able to guarantee veterans a degree - in less than three years if they have at least 10 years of military experience - plus a paid internship and a path to a job.

Most of Carter's own career was spent in the U.S. Navy, having graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and the Navy Fighter Weapons School, also known as Top Gun. He later served as president of the Naval War College and eventually superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.

"We just want to make sure that veterans know that Ohio State is the destination for them, and that we can do better than most other universities in terms of taking care of them," Carter told reporters.

Other changes, goals

Effective this year, Ohio State will permanently add the academic winter recess it piloted several years ago, allowing faculty and staff to not work over winter break.

Ohio State will more than double the current 176 nurses it annually produces through its nursing program, aiming to reach 320 nurses a year.

The university will increase the number of veterinarians it produces from 165 a year to more than 200.

The Susan K. Ipacs Nursing Legacy Scholarship Fund was established at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio to honor the work and life of Susan Ipacs - nurse, instructor, mother, wife and friend.

Sue Ipacs' character reflects her Appalachian heritage. Her mother(from Tyler County, West Virginia) and father (Ross County, Ohio) were self-reliant and independent, committed to a financially responsible lifestyle of hard work and industriousness. Her parents were kind and helpful toward others; their Christian beliefs and church fundamental to their home life. As a result, Sue had a preference to soothe and avoid conflict, though never to be confused with acquiescence or unwillingness to tenaciously defend her views. Like her parents, Sue put others at ease and will long be remembered for her compassionate nature

On her path to professional accomplishments, Sue had to overcome significant obstacles. After graduating from Chillicothe High School, her passion to help others led her to pursue a career in nursing. However, she abandoned her studies in favor of marriage, but soon found herself divorced and the mother of an infant daughter, Jill. Working a minimum wage job and feeling trapped by her life circumstances, Sue realized education was the key to a positive future for both her and her daughter and she was determined to complete her degree in nursing.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Hocking College in 1977. Although a single working mother, Sue continued her studies and earned her BSN from Ohio University in 1984, again graduating Summa Cum Laude. In 1985, Sue became an instructor at Hocking College.

An accepting, warm woman, Sue embraced diversity. Perhaps this was most outwardly apparent in her marrying Joseph Ipacs, the son of Hungarian immigrants, in 1987. Sue became a mother again, giving birth to Joseph ("Joey") in 1988 and Christopher ("Bo") in 1990. Not to be deterred from her continued studies, Sue earned her Master's Degree from Wright State in 1994 (Summa Cum Laude).

Although Sue could be described as cerebral and thoughtful, she was intensely passionate about her family and nursing. Her dedication, competence, and character led to Sue becoming an Associate Dean in the school of Nursing at Hocking College in 1999. Her professional memberships included the Ohio Council of Associate Degree Nursing Education Administrators, the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, and the Education Advisory Council of the Ohio Board of Nursing.

Sue never lost her love of nursing and never forgot the circumstances that led to her college education. As a nursing instructor and associate dean, Sue strove to ease the burdens and obstacles facing students, while nurturing the passion to help others in all who surrounded her, both students and fellow colleagues. She felt a personal responsibility to recognize and attend to the underprivileged and non-traditional student. As so many depended on Sue for her compassion and dedication to the profession, it is the hope that students pursuing their nursing degree remember the reason behind the studies, and the importance of compassion for people.

Dolly Parton created a FREE program where children (birth - 5 years old) receive a book every month.

Sign up today!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five, through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland.

Inspired by her father's inability to read and write Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for the children within her home county. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts over 2 million free books each month to children around the world.

"When I was growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, I knew my dreams would come true. I know there are children in your community with their own dreams. They dream of becoming a doctor or an inventor or a minister. Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer.

The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world."

1. Get to know yourself: Start identifying your interests, values, skills, personal traits, and career satisfiers in order to identify what might be a good career fit for you.
To kick off this step, complete these career exploration quizzes to aid you in clarifying some of your interests and values. Once you've gotten your results, completing these worksheets will prepare you for talking with role models, help you organize your research, and gain a deeper understanding of what you might want out of your career.

2. Exploration: Explore and research career possibilities. Learn about the connections between academic programs, learning through experience, previous experiences, and careers. One of the best ways to start exploring potential careers is to start networking - speak to someone you know who works in your field of interest, and if possible, speak to people they know. Talking to people with knowledge and experience is a great way to get an inside view of the realities of the industry. Here are some more ideas to get you going on your career exploration:

Conduct career analysis, collect data from reliable sources.

Find information on various areas, sectors, and businesses of your interest.

Look at programs offered at institutions where you think you'd like to study and read about the different career paths that they can lead to.

Interview people working in the fields you are interested in for a more realistic insight into those industries. You can also lookup YouTube or Ted Talk videos featuring people talking about their careers.

Consider interning as a summer job or volunteering to gain work experience and help you decide if something is really for you.

Attend networking or career events, in person or online, to meet new people and discover potential new options.

3. Preparation: Develop your resume and cover letter writing skills, refine your career goals and strategy. "Test the waters" - Apply for internships and/or summer jobs. Even for jobs you don't want, attending interviews is a great way to build confidence. Ask the people who interviewed you for feedback afterward to help you better prepare for upcoming interviews.

- Create an effective resume and cover letter. One trick to making a great resume is to go through the job posting for the job you are applying for and manipulate your resume to use the same language as the posting. Re-writing your bio, skills, and other areas of your resume using the same buzz words and language as the posting make you sound like a perfect fit for the position. Making these small changes for each job you apply for will make you stand out and likely up your chances of getting an interview.

- Research schools and, if possible, visit their campuses.

- Create an elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a brief speech that helps you sell yourself - usually about 30 seconds to a minute long. A well-crafted elevator pitch can be a fantastic conversation starter. In most interviews, the interviewer will ask you to provide a summary of who you are, what your background is, and what you want from your next job. Your elevator pitch can help plan your answers to these common interview questions or when it comes to considering what to include in a cover letter. Check out these articles for more about elevator pitches: The Importance Of The Elevator Pitch & How To Give an Elevator Pitch (With Examples)

- Create your network by conducting informational interviews - ask your parent, guardian, family, and/or family friends if anyone you know is involved in the field you are exploring and talk to them about their experience.

- Develop and fine-tune your interviewing abilities. Practice makes perfect; ask a friend or family member to do a mock interview with you. Before an actual job interview, you want to do your homework. Check out the company or organization's website and social media pages. Google them to learn about what they do, their history, and the direction they are headed. Look for any recent news articles. Prepare questions to ask the interviewers; this will show you are genuinely interested in the position and helps determine if the position is a good fit for you. Watch this YouTube playlist - Interview Skills For High School Students or check out this article - 20 Tips for Great Job Interviews for more job interview tips.

- Develop a Career Action Plan - The 5 Minute Career Action Plan
4. Implementation

It's hard to know how much and what kind of activity your child needs over the summer -- scheduled family activities, community camps, academic programs, or residential camps. That can be determined by you and your child, but it is known that children who participate in summer activities, experience learning gains and those who do not, lose some learning gains from the past school year.

There are many considerations when thinking about camps and programs your child might attend. Here are a few things to consider when looking at camps or programs.

The best camps:

Are physically and emotionally safe and welcoming places, with adequate staffing

Provide a variety of activities --academic, physical, and social - based on a single goal or philosophy.

If academically oriented, provide challenge and allow your child to explore higher-level concepts than they might get during the school year

Provide active rather than passive learning experiences that build on your child's interests

Have staff who are trained in the academic and emotional needs of gifted students as well as those from diverse backgrounds.

Have trained counselors who can help students who have difficulties finding friends or joining in activities

Are flexible enough to meet your child's academic, athletic, or musical ability without be overwhelming and have an end of session evaluation of progress made with next steps.

Talk with your child about the following:

Is he ready for a residential camp or would he be happier coming home in the evening?

Is the camp content interesting?

How much structure would make him happiest?

Discovering Interests

Your child's interests open the door to a love of learning. To help her find subjects and activities that interest her, try the following:

"Interest Inventories" are available free on the web

Sign your child up for classes or enrichment activities and investigate whether your local schools, colleges, businesses, and performing arts companies offer free or low cost events outside of school hours

Connect your child with family, friends, co-worker and neighbors to learn what they do for work or for a hobby.

Developing Positive Values for Learning

Carol Dweck, a motivation researcher, describes the "mindset" needed for learning. Parents and Teachers can teach their students to have a "growth mindset" that allows for struggle and failure on the path to understanding. Children need to know that there is value in hard work and that their hard work makes a difference to their success.

Linking Interests to School

Interest areas provide natural learning opportunities. For example, consider a child who shows an interest in baseball. Think of the many ways you can link this interest to academics

Where are the teams from, Find the players' home towns on a map,

What is the history of the team's name,

What are the physics of a "knuckleball"?

You do not have to be an expert, just be willing to explore.

What if there is a learning problem at school?

Gifted students are not always successful in school. Below you will find link to information on possible obstacles and ways to surmount them.

"To be interested, to be absorbed in, wrapped up in, carried away by some object...We say of an interested person that he has both lost himself in some affair and he has found himself in it." --Dewey, 1916

Gifted Social & Emotional Needs of Gifted Children

Many gifted behaviors and traits include an emotional or social component. Parents of gifted children find that both the challenges and the joys of raising a gifted child extend beyond the classroom.

How Does Being Gifted Affect Social and Emotional Development?

Being gifted is part of an individual's identity and, as such, does not only apply to academic settings. Profoundly gifted children experience their emotions and social development in a way that can significantly differ from neurotypical children. Supporting your gifted child includes looking at their emotional needs at home and helping them build social skills outside of a school setting in addition to providing opportunities for intellectual growth.

How Does Giftedness Affect Emotional Development?

While every gifted child's experience is different, two of the main terms associated with the emotional development of gifted children are intensity and asynchrony.

Intensity as described by Christine Fonesca is, " gifted individuals approach life. At its best, intensity is the driving passion that enables some people to achieve amazing things - in any domain. But at its worst, it is the turmoil that has the power to consume these same individuals from time to time as they learn how to manage that aspect of their personality." Linked to emotional development, intensity in gifted children may manifest when their peers or the world at large fail to align with their inner compass for how the world ought to be in their eyes. Examples may include feeling troubled over ethical issues, rigid rule-following at play time, a vivid imagination, and even existential questioning at a very young age. Highly gifted children often struggle to express this intensity and may either direct this energy inwardly, presenting as moodiness or anxiety, or direct this energy outwardly as tantrums or yelling and outbursts.

Asynchrony is also closely linked to the gifted child's emotional development. Asynchronous development in gifted children means that their growth, academically, emotionally, physically, or socially, is not uniform. Profoundly gifted children in particular may be intellectually operating at a 10 th grade level at age 9 but have not mastered riding a bike or handwriting at the same time. In the emotional domain, gifted children experience the frustration of an intellect that is miles ahead of their physical self and their educational setting. Furthermore, asynchrony can mean that gifted children may lack the emotional coping skills to process their big feelings and rich inner life.

How Does Giftedness Affect Social Development?

The social development of gifted children is often most strongly shaped by a lack of like-minded peers who share their interests, especially early in life. Extroverted and introverted gifted children alike often describe feeling that they lack a "true friend." The social development of many gifted children mirrors their academic development in that they are often ready for a more mature friendship at an earlier age compared to their age-peers who might only be concerned with having someone to play with.

may occur for gifted children who feel that no one understands them. Gifted girls in particular are at risk for going "underground" and hiding their abilities to fit in with their age-peers. Helping these gifted students succeed socially and emotionally is often linked to finding the appropriate academic outlets though as gifted students may find like-minded peers once accelerated, through an academic summer experience, or by engaging with a niche interest and meeting others who share their passions. Anxiety and social struggles

How Can Parents Nurture the Social-Emotional Development of Their Gifted Children?

Parents play an important role in nurturing the social-emotional development of their gifted children by being advocates for their children in school and beyond. This can help address problems with self-image, perfectionism, uneven development and depression. Here are some ways parents can improve their gifted child's social-emotional learning:

Provide opportunities for enrichment through programs and activities outside the classroom

Enhance peer relations by allowing the child to connect with intellectual peers who are a similar mental age

Establish a professionally guided, ongoing support group of parents of gifted children who can share their experiences of raising their gifted children

Continuously enlighten educators who may not be able to recognize the needs of their gifted child

Most of all, it is important to remember gifted children are children first. They need guidance and understanding to help them learn to regulate their emotions and overcome social challenges they may be experiencing. The Davidson Institute works with families of profoundly gifted students to provide support in addition to hosting social experiences where these children can feel seen by their cognitive peers.
