The Ohio State University President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. met with members of the local media today, the first day of the spring semester. Carter walked across the Oval to his new office at University Square South, greeting students as they returned from winter break. He started work as the university’s 17th president on Jan. 1.

During autumn commencement, Acting President Peter Mohler asked graduates to remember how they persevered during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic. “There was a real risk of losing a century and a half of tradition and community,” he said. “You held on to, and in fact, reignited our unique campus traditions, our vibrant campus life and the sense of community that make Ohio State such a special place.”
