People look at me like I'm crazy when I say that our greatest partnership here at Ohio State should be with the community colleges.

When the fabric of the universe becomes unknown, it is the duty of the university to produce weavers.

I often have said that to be a college president, you need a thick skin, a good sense of humor, and nerves like sewer pipes.

As one of the country's largest land-grant universities, Ohio State must play a critical role in moving our country forward.

I believe everything learned in college is an answer to a question that someone has posed. Questions get posed differently and the answers that come back transport us to places we never knew existed.

To be sure, American higher education is a diverse ecosystem, comprising institutions of all sizes, price tags, and mission statements.

I believe that it is higher education's purpose and calling to keep open the door to the American dream.
