The Seasons Pass - Historical Perspectives on Ohio State’s Land-Grant Mission
Join Dr. Stephen Gavazzi, author of "Land-Grant Universities for the Future: Higher Education for the Public Good" and "Fulfilling the 21st Century Land-Grant Mission" and Dr. Scott Levi, Chair of the Department of History, as they take a look back at the founding of public land-grant universities. This webinar will cover what exactly a land-grant is, the land-grant mission of the 19th century, The Ohio State University's early years and its impact on Ohioans.
This webinar is part of Land-Grant YOUniversities: A Three-Part Virtual Series. As part of the College of Arts and Sciences 15th Anniversary, join us to learn why Ohio State's designation as a land-grant institution sets us apart from other public colleges and how it affects Ohioans. Across three conversations, we will speak to Ohio State experts about the past, present and future of Land Grant Universities. We’ll discover how our founding as the Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College set the path for us to become The Ohio State University and what the future holds for us as Buckeyes!
