The 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 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 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, 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.
