Last Friday, February 27, the campus community had the pleasure of welcoming Provost Ravi Bellamkonda for his first visit to Ohio State Marion, beginning with an in-depth tour of campus facilities. Walking through labs, classrooms, and student spaces allowed him to see firsthand the hands-on learning, close faculty mentorship, and wraparound supports that define us as Marion in scale, Ohio State in scope.
Along the way, Provost Bellamkonda met with students, faculty, and staff—and engaged local leaders and stakeholders—gaining a fuller picture of how deeply this campus is woven into the life and future of our region. Experiencing Ohio State Marion's work on the ground made clear both the challenges we navigate and the ambition driving our next chapter. He left with genuine enthusiasm for where The Ohio State University Marion is headed.
