Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Sharpe Fellowships

Sharpe Fellowships

Ganesha

Our Chairman Morton O'Kelly, would like to recognize the Sharpe awards.

This year for the first time, we are pleased to be able to use our generously supported Sharpe Fellowships to attract new incoming students (freshmen!) It is much more common for Geographers to discover the Major later in their career and we have been trying hard to recruit new students as they enter the university. We have made a total of 13 awards in Sharpe Fellowship competition including three potential recruits who we hope to see next year. Here is the list, and thanks to Gary Sharpe whose generous scholarship supports Ohio students.  Here they are with the county of origin and major.
