Drake shares 2020 Vision with Ohio

Ohio State President Michael V. Drake traveled the state this month to share his vision of an institution focused on affordable excellence.

Drake’s 2020 Vision tour began in southern Ohio last week, where he used the opportunity to talk to community members, alumni and students about college affordability and other issues important to Ohioans.

The tour also provided a chance to emphasize the importance of community engagement and diversity and inclusion, two key focus areas for Ohio State. Drake will continue his tour with a visit to western Ohio in mid-August.
