The next frontier
Ohio State is ready to explore the next frontier.
In 2016, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center will open a new brain and spine hospital that will meet the growing need for services for patients with neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke and many others.
The new facility will provide a place for doctors like Ali Rezai to continue their innovative work exploring the largely uncharted neurological realm.
In addition to the new hospital, a $10 million gift from alumnus Stan Ross and his wife Joan will pave the way for the Wexner Medical Center’s new Center for Brain Health and Performance, which will advance research across the entire spectrum of brain health.

The ‘cool factor’ doesn't matter
A new nationwide study reveals that the kind of cities that attract college graduates has changed since the 1990s. In the 1990s, grads were moving to cities with fast-growing “smart” industries in fields like high tech, the study found. But since 2000, with a less vibrant national economy, college graduates are flocking toward the biggest cities with the biggest labor markets and the best chances of landing a job.
