As one of Ohio State's engaged campuses, we connect our teaching, research, and service to issues that concern the communities we serve, the state, and the world.
Ohio State Marion Director of Community Relations and Development, Dave Claborn retired from Ohio State last week after ten years of esteemed service to the campus, but his impact has always gone beyond his 8 to 5 p.m. job. On August 3, Claborn rode the 100 mile trek across the plains and hills of Ohio to raise awareness and money for cancer research.
U.S. President Warren G. Harding’s election in November of 1920 was the first in which American women could vote, following passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. And vote, they did, swelling voter rolls from 18.5 million in 1916 to 26.8 million in 1920. Harding and his running mate, Calvin Coolidge won in a landslide victory, 60.3 percent of the vote against fellow Ohioan James Cox and Franklin Roosevelt’s 34.1 percent.
Ohio State's innovative and highly successful Second-year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) is now available to students at Ohio State Marion through a three year pilot program on the regional campuses.
