Dozens of Math Medal Awardees stand on stage at the Central Ohio region ceremony.
Honda-OSU Math Medal Award honorees were recognized at the Central Ohio region ceremony on November 3, 2016 at Honda of America in Marysville.
Two hundred and twenty-one high school seniors received the Honda-OSU Math Medal Award from a partnership between Honda and The Ohio State University. The award recognizes the top senior mathematics student in 221 high schools in 31 counties in southwest and central Ohio. 

The Math Medal Award is presented by the Honda-OSU Partnership, a university-industry partnership that supports programs in education and research to benefit the transportation industry. This is the thirteenth anniversary of the Central Ohio region Math Medal Awards and the seventh anniversary of the southwest region awards. A total of 2,285 seniors have received the award since 2004.

Recognized as their school’s top math student in the Class of 2017, each student received a pewter math medal, plaque and $100 gift card from Honda and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering. 

“Math is the foundation for so many of our advancements, particularly the kind of advancements a technology-driven company like Honda needs,” Honda-OSU Partnership Co-director Mike Wiseman said at the ceremony. “Companies like Honda will always need strong math skills as we look toward our future workforce.”

In addition, the award comes with a $3,000 scholarship opportunity at Ohio State’s College of Engineering for the 2017-2018 academic year. Over the past 12 years, 214 medal recipients have gone on to receive the $3,000 scholarship.

Honda-OSU Math Medal Award honorees were recognized at the Southwest Ohio region ceremony on October 29, 2016 at the GE Aviation Learning Center in Cincinnati.
“This award serves to recognize students who excel in the fields of math and science—skills that are in high demand in today’s workforce,” said David B. Williams, dean, Ohio State College of Engineering. “We applaud these young individuals for their hard work and hope they will develop their talents as future Buckeye Engineers.”

The Honda-Ohio State Partnership is a unique collaboration between Ohio State and Honda that supports initiatives in education, research and public service to positively impact students, faculty, public and private sector practitioners, and the transportation industry as a whole.

Honda operates two auto plants, an engine plant and a transmission plant in Ohio, along with a major vehicle research and development center and engineering, logistics and purchasing operations. With 13,500 associates, Honda is one of Ohio’s largest private employers.

Ohio State’s College of Engineering places 16th nationally among public university engineering undergraduate programs ranked by U.S. News and World Report, and its more than 8,000 undergraduate students choose from 14 different engineering majors.
