Buckeye Baithak

• Title: Outstanding New Student Organization

Buckeye Baithak is Ohio State's first student organization dedicated to the preservation and celebration of South Asian artistic traditions, including ghazals, qawwalis, and shayari. What began as informal gatherings has evolved into a vibrant cultural force, selling out its flagship Buckeye Mehfil concert and raising over $2,000 for nonprofit efforts. By hosting heart-warming performances and fostering a cross-national community, Buckeye Baithak provides a unique space where students find genuine belonging through the power of shared art.
