Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society Overview

• The Ohio State University’s motto, Disciplina in Civitatem, or “education for citizenship,” is not merely a slogan; it is an exhortation to remain focused on the responsibility to develop an informed, engaged, and civic-minded citizenry, essential to fulfilling Ohio State’s land-grant mission. The Chase Center is a multidisciplinary university center that conducts teaching, research, and public programming concerning the core texts and great debates of Western civilization; the principles, ideals, and institutions of the American and Ohio political order; and the foundations of responsible leadership and informed citizenship — an independent academic unit and a leader among similar centers of civic thought and leadership in Ohio, throughout the country, and in the K-12 classical and liberal arts school movement.
