 Good morning, Buckeyes! It's Monday, July 28, 2025, and here's what's happening at Ohio State University-Marion Campus. First, we're excited to welcome Dr. Jennifer Schlueter as our new dean and director. Dr. Schlueter, an Ohio State alumna, began her tenure on March 17, 2025. She brings extensive experience from her previous role as vice provost of academic affairs at The New School in New York City. Welcome back to the Buckeye family, Dr. Schlueter! In academic news, Associate Professors Chris Orban and Scott Zimmerman have secured a $20,000 grant from Ohio State Energy Partners. Their project, "The STEMcoding Data Science High School Curriculum Initiative," aims to modernize high school math education by integrating data science concepts. This initiative is set to equip the next generation with essential skills for the digital age. On the community front, our student veterans have launched a beekeeping initiative at the Larry R. Yoder Prairie Learning Laboratory. Marine veterans Todd Lee and Eric Bailey introduced two beehives to the 11-acre prairie, enhancing its ecosystem and promoting sustainability. Their efforts underscore the campus's commitment to environmental stewardship and innovative projects. Looking ahead, the 2025 Warren G. Harding Symposium took place on July 18-19. This year's theme, "Politics at the Doorstep: Presidential Front Porch Campaigns," explored historical presidential campaigns with insights from experts across the nation. The symposium offered engaging discussions and a deeper understanding of political history. In campus safety news, Ohio State has been awarded $257,000 in safety grants. These funds will be used for various enhancements, including installing classroom locks and upgrading alarm systems at the Marion campus. These improvements aim to ensure a secure environment for all students and staff. Lastly, our annual STEM and Engineering Camps continue to inspire future innovators. This summer, 80 middle and high school students participated in hands-on projects, toured manufacturing facilities like the Honda East Liberty plant, and collaborated with faculty in science and engineering labs. These camps are instrumental in fostering a passion for STEM fields among young learners. That's all for this week's update. Stay safe, stay engaged, and as always, Go Buckeyes!
