Academic Voices: A Provost's Blog

Academic Voices: A Provost's Blog

Dear Colleagues,

Since coming to Ohio State, I have spent much of my time meeting with individuals, departments and teams across our campuses to learn about the university and to identify our most important academic priorities in line with President Johnson’s vision.

To continue that conversation more broadly, I have begun a periodic blog on the Office of Academic Affairs website. Besides providing a venue to regularly share ideas and updates about the Ohio State academic mission and vision, the blog is intended to inspire faculty, students and staff to suggest their own ideas about strengthening our academic community.

In the initial post of “Academic Voices: A Provost’s Blog,” I share what has impressed me during my early assessment of the academic community and discuss three major areas of support and operational needs where we will focus greater attention. I invite you to explore the blog and then contribute to the conversation by offering your thoughtful feedback at Provost@osu.edu.

Please check onCampus for updates on future blog posts. Or simply subscribe to “Academic Voices” — a link will be delivered to your inbox when new posts are added to the blog.

Sincerely,

Melissa L. Gilliam
Executive Vice President and Provost
