The 91̽»¨ community will have the opportunity to further engage in the search for OHIO’s 23rd president by meeting candidate finalists during multiple open forums in early March on OHIO’s Athens Campus.

Note: To date, presidential candidate finalists have not been determined; however, the University plans to share a search update with the campus community later this week.

Multiple open forum sessions planned

As part of a broad stakeholder engagement project directed by the 91̽»¨ Board of Trustees and OHIO’s Presidential Search Committee, open forums for each presidential candidate finalist are currently anticipated to be held in Athens on March 1, 2, 7 and 8. 

Each open forum will also be available via livestream for those with an OHIO login.

OHIO students, faculty and staff and alumni, along with members of the Athens community, are invited to participate in the forums. The participation, engagement and feedback from the campus community will play a vital role in the Board of Trustees’ evaluation of each of the presidential candidate finalists as they work through the decision-making process.

All presidential candidate finalist open forum dates, times and locations are currently tentative and subject to change.
