People do not come to OSU to be ordinary! Message from President Drake….

 

OSUaerial

 

 

 

 

Dear Friends:

I recently read a quote from Ohio State’s national champion wrestler that really struck me: “People do not come to Ohio State to be ordinary.”

What an incredibly true statement. It actually came to mind for me multiple times yesterday, as I looked out across the room while delivering my investiture speech. I am still delving into the first year of my presidency at Ohio State, but each and every day I meet members of the broad university community who aim to excel, rather than simply achieve. Seeing so many of those special individuals come together for my investiture ceremony was a humbling experience.

My deep gratitude goes to everyone who contributed to the investiture and created such a meaningful memory for Brenda, our family and me. I greatly appreciate the countless Buckeyes who have marked the beginning of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is a great privilege to serve as this university’s 15th president. Ohio State is a catalyst in expanding what we believe to be possible, improving lives and stimulating new ideas. I am very proud of this institution and our people, and I am excited to work with you as we move forward. Thank you for your support of this extraordinary university.

Sincerely, Michael V. Drake, MD President

Thanks for the Feedback!

Watch this during a workout or a nice drive. It’s a must read and I recently used this in my junior honors class. I think it’s helpful for students to understand the feedback process, especially when working on a thesis or dissertation. Please enjoy and buy the book. Keep it in your gym bag or briefcase. I have read this several times and always pick up something new. Enjoy!!

Educate Yourself! #Ebola Need to Know From the CDC!

I had a chance to participate in the #cdcchat today via twitter. @CDCgov received over 5,000 tweets per hour, so Ebola is definitely a high priority issue and a serious public health concern. I thought it would be most fitting to post some excellent sites for students and healthcare professionals interested in getting informed about risks, prevention, and evidence-based interventions. Please also pay attention to the proper standards for PPE equipment. Its applicable for all infection control scenarios!

Best,

-Michelle
