The winter issue of Ohio Today focuses on OHIO alumni, faculty, staff, and students in the act of putting their noses to the grindstone to achieve their goals, understand their work more deeply, and learn about themselves—all through acts of practice.

How do we get better at anything? We practice. The Bobcat Nation practices in medical school labs and classrooms; in art studios and on baseball diamonds; in community and creative hubs.
