Abstract
A Day in the Life of a Buckeye is a program that offers an individualized experience for urban and Appalachian area high school students to experience life at The Ohio State University, and college in general, for a day. This visit, hosted by currently enrolled students, allows students to attend Ohio State classes and interact with faculty and staff. Students participating within the program are paired with a student host based on their gender identity, intended major, and interest/hobbies.
