Ohio University Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis shared the following message with the Ohio University community on Monday, March 1. Dear University Community, I write today with good news about our University operations for the summer and fall semesters as we plan toward increased in-person offerings in and out of the classroom. I am pleased to share that we will welcome all students to our campuses this coming Fall Semester. First, I want to take a moment to fervently applaud the work of Special Assistant to the President for Public Health Operations Dr. Gillian Ice, Chief Medical Affairs Officer Dr. Ken Johnson, and the entire COVID Operations team for their incredible work during the last several weeks and months. I also want to thank our students for the role they continue to play in keeping each other safe by following protocols, even when it creates challenges. Together, we have maintained a positivity rate under four percent and avoided significant outbreaks in our residence halls this Spring.
