General Education Implementation Rosters

The implementation committee was created to fulfill the university-wide expectation that a workgroup would resolve several issues that emerged during the approval process and map the remainder of the implementation process. A small support team, consisting of individuals who were highly involved in the review and approval process, will provide information, assist with meeting agendas, and help craft the formal plan and responses to the implementation issues.

Professor Laura Podalsky, chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, and Professor Blaine Lilly, associate chair for Undergraduate Programs in Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, serve as co-chairs of the implementation committee. Ohio State is especially grateful to Columbus State Community College Professor Ron Elizaga for representing our important transfer student partner on the committee.

The implementation committee will meet twice monthly through the summer and fall of 2019. Subcommittees and the support team will meet as necessary throughout the same period.
