Legacy Dinner

Friday, March 28, 2025

Celebrate your family's rich Ohio State tradition. This special event recognizes the families who have multiple generations of Buckeyes. Families and students will take part in a pinning ceremony, where participants will receive a special commemorative Buckeye pin.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is intended for students with family members that have also attended and are graduates of The Ohio State University. A legacy member includes, but is not limited to, a sibling, parent or grandparent.

The Legacy Dinner will be held on Friday, March 28, 2025 beginning at 7 p.m. ET (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom, located on the 2nd floor of the Ohio Union. Please note that this event is NOT included as part of Sibs, Kids and Family Day. Registration for Sibs, Kids and Family Day is NOT required to attend the Legacy Dinner event.

Registration is NOW OPEN: Navigate to the registration form. You will need to have a Buckeye Family Connection to account in order to register, so we recommend creating one ahead of registration opening!

Registration will close Wednesday, March 12 at noon ET. Because this event includes food, we are unable to accept late registrations for any reason.
