Our Values

At The Ohio State University, being a champion — one who rises above challenges to reach new heights of success — is an expectation, not an aspiration. It is this mentality that drives the Fisher College of Business community as we face a rapidly changing landscape within business education.

• Committing ourselves to building an inclusive community. We share the responsibility of creating a community in which every member feels respected, supported, valued and encouraged to fully participate.
• Promoting social responsibility. Ours is a community that is informed of issues that impact our local and global communities. We endeavor to serve in relevant ways that address these needs.
