Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

A new calendar year is a time for new beginnings, and in these early days of 2025, I am excited and proud to join The Ohio State University as one of its newest Buckeyes.

We are pleased to share that Dr. Jennifer Schlueter has been selected to serve as the next dean and director of The Ohio State University at Marion. An accomplished academic administrator, teacher, performance maker, and producer, Dr. Schlueter is the vice provost of academic affairs at The New School in New York City, where she also holds a faculty appointment in the university’s School of Drama. She will begin her term at Ohio State Marion on March 17, 2025, pending Board of Trustees approval.

 The Ohio State University is providing election information, resources and guidelines to students, faculty and staff ahead of the nationwide election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

Dear Colleagues,

I am thrilled to be joining The Ohio State University in January as your executive vice president and provost.

Ohio State is one of the great land-grant universities in our nation. This is a place with tremendous scale and reach — more than 66,000 students, 8,600 full- and part-time faculty, 15 colleges, four regional campuses and a presence in each of the state’s 88 counties.

Ohio State President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. announced today that highly accomplished scientist and higher education administrative leader Ravi V. Bellamkonda has been selected to serve as the university’s next executive vice president and provost.

Dear Colleagues,

As Anil Makhija prepares to step down from his role as dean of the Max M. Fisher College of Business at the end of the month, I write to share a brief update on college leadership.
