Out with the old and in with the new! Â鶹ӰԺ ushers in the new year with a brand new website, which launched on Jan. 8.

The first phase of the Summit Street: Building a Better Way Improvement Project is complete, with the opening of Ted Boyd Drive. The roadway alongside the Student Recreation and Wellness Center reopened last week, making the roundabout at Ted Boyd and Johnston drives fully operational.

The Â鶹ӰԺ Student Center now features a meditation room, which is intended to serve as both an interfaith and nonreligious space. Located on the second floor across from the Governance Chambers, the meditation room provides a tranquil refuge for all students, faculty, staff and community members.
The space was designed to meet the increased demand for quiet space to practice a myriad of faith traditions and also to provide a sense of place and convenience for our growing segment of international students.

The Â鶹ӰԺ Board of Trustees today established a comprehensive, national search to recruit and select the university’s 13th president.
The events of May 4, 1970, placed Â鶹ӰԺ in an international spotlight after a student protest against the Vietnam War and the presence of the Ohio National Guard ended in tragedy with four students losing their lives and nine others being wounded. From a perspective of nearly 50 years, Â鶹ӰԺ State remembers the tragedy and leads a contemporary discussion and understanding of how the community, nation and world can benefit from understanding the profound impact of the event.
