鶹ӰԺ's Student Recreation and Wellness Center was the site for an epic struggle between nations and continents as 11 international teams gathered to vie for the 2016 鶹ӰԺ State Global Cup in soccer.
POSTED: Thursday, November 10, 2016 02:43 PM
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.
