On Veterans Day, I join the entire Ohio State community in thanking the men and women who have served our country with honor and courage. They and their families deserve our deepest gratitude. We're proud to be a university that welcomes and supports military learners throughout their educational and career journeys. From a grateful Buckeye Nation, thank you, veterans!

[Ravi V. Bellamkonda @OhioStatePres]

At Ohio State, our land-grant mission means working alongside communities to solve real challenges. I am proud of our @CFAES_OSU researchers for partnering with local communities to help protect the Little Miami River. 💧🛶

[Ohio State @OhioState]

Preserving the Little Miami River for local communities takes more than passion. Ohio State research is giving local advocates the evidence they need to make a stronger case for conservation. 💧🛶

I was so pleased to join colleagues from @RutgersU, @CalCommColleges and @GoogleForEdu at the national @P3_EDU Conference for a discussion about building a forward-thinking, values-driven AI culture in higher education. Ohio State is a leader in this space and I enjoyed the opportunity to share ideas and lessons learned. Thanks for having me! #p3edu

With heavy hearts, Lalita and I join the Ohio State community in mourning the passing of @osuearthscience Professor Lonnie Thompson – an extraordinary scholar, passionate champion for the power of scientific discovery, and wonderful alum, friend and colleague who represents the very best of Buckeye excellence. Along with his wife, Ellen Mosley-Thompson, and their colleagues, Dr. Thompson helped build @ByrdPolar into a research powerhouse that has transformed climate studies. He was a giant in his field and in our community, and he will be missed. We send our deepest sympathies to Ellen, their daughter, Regina, and all who knew and loved Lonnie.

[Byrd Polar & Climate Research Center @ByrdPolar]

We write to share the heartbreaking news that our colleague & friend Lonnie Thompson passed away after a brief illness. Lonnie has been at Ohio State for over 55 years. He and Ellen Mosley-Thompson pioneered ice core research on glaciers around the world. https://t.co/2JxLPE8Pgq

[Ravi V. Bellamkonda @OhioStatePres]

This is big news for scientific discovery and workforce and economic growth. Expanding research and development at our Microelectronics Innovation and Technology Cluster will drive new industry partnerships and national defense efforts, while providing hands-on learning opportunities for our students. This is the kind of growth that makes Ohio State a true powerhouse across research and academics.

Dental treatments are evolving rapidly, and experts like Ohio State's Beau Meyer, associate professor in the @OSU_Dentistry, are helping to bring the latest in dental innovation to patients. His work is especially consequential for pediatric dentistry and the treatments we're able to offer children. Learn more about Professor Meyer's research:

Buckeyes are building what matters. I was thrilled to join student innovators, colleagues and friends today in celebrating the new home for BuildX, our recently launched initiative to accelerate student startups at @OhioState. This new space will bring entrepreneurial teams together to share and test ideas, learn from mentors, and build the future alongside their peers. If you're a student with a big idea for a new product or company, Ohio State is the place where you can turn it into reality!

Thanks to researchers like Ohio State @OSUVetCollege Professor Shan-Lu Liu, we can better prepare for emerging viruses and build a healthier future. I'm so pleased to honor Dr. Liu as one of this year's Distinguished University Professors.

[Ohio State @OhioState]

“You may not know exactly where a discovery will lead, but major advances often begin with basic research.” Distinguished University Professor Shan-Lu Liu studies how viruses interact with cells, building knowledge that could advance medicine and help us better prepare for the future. 🦠 https://t.co/IfdcywIXRg
