I am thrilled to share with you the news that Dr. John J. Warner, MD, MBA, will serve as CEO of the Wexner Medical Center and executive vice president at Ohio State. Dr. Warner will join Ohio State on April 1, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.

With the end of the semester upon us, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to all of you for achieving yet another period of innovative teaching, cutting-edge research, outstanding clinical care and exemplary service. Veronica and I hope that each of you finds joy and peace in the coming holidays.

I am writing to you to let you know that I have made the difficult decision to step down as president following commencement at the end of the academic year. I am very proud of all that we have accomplished together. It’s been a privilege to serve this incredible university, and I have been honored to work as part of this brilliant, dedicated and passionate community.
