    Submitted by Kris Boone, boone.3@osu.ed

    In 2017, The Ohio State University and Ohio State Energy Partners (OSEP) entered into a comprehensive energy management partnership, launching an unprecedented energy efficiency program and establishing the university as an international leader in sustainability.

    As part of its commitment to academic collaboration, OSEP will contribute $810,000 annually to the university or affiliated philanthropic causes. Working with OSEP, the Office of Academic Affairs will engage Ohio State faculty, staff and students through a request for proposals to advance important university priorities and promote interdisciplinary and community collaboration.

    Through Jan. 29, 2021, applications will be accepted for the annual OSEP awards. Projects should promote interdisciplinary and community collaboration, and priority will be given to the following areas: sustainability, leadership development and arts/humanities. Faculty, staff and students are eligible to apply.

  4. Shelley Whitworth retirement

    Submitted by Loren Harper, harper.202@osu.edu


    Shelley Whitworth will be retiring at the end of December. Shelley has been an important part of the Director's Office for the past 34 years. She is always willing to lend a hand, pitch in, whenever is needed and never questions if something is in her job duties. Her dedication and service-oriented approach to getting the task down, being part of the solution to challenges, and addressing the needs of our CFAES Wooster family as well as those in our community are unparalleled.

    Shelley is an outstanding role model for others and is an asset and has been a wonderful ambassador for the OSU Wooster Campus and for this we are very thankful.

    Shelley genuinely cares for everyone she works with and always has a smile on her face and for these reasons and many more will be missed. Ordinarily, we would have a huge cake and some punch to help celebrate this life milestone for Shelley, but that will have to wait for later.

    Please join us in celebrating this next chapter and leave a note, a "see you later" on the following message board linked below.
