Tip
OWU is just 30 minutes from Columbus, so it's easy to dig into all that the city has to offer, from pro sports and eclectic restaurants, to major concerts, art galleries, and shopping. Not to mention impressive internships and work experiences. It's no wonder the New York Times named it one of 52 places to go in 2019.

The president's name is...Rock?
Answer
Yep. And he prefers you stay on a first-name basis with him. He is active and present on campus and attends many student activities.
Follow Rock
Tip
Eat free before finals at Midnight Breakfast and you'll even be served by your favorite OWU professors, staff, and the president!
Tip
Use a Planner. Contrary to popular belief, a planner is not constricting and will probably leave you feeling more organized and self-assured. After planning becomes a habit, you won't miss commitments and you will find yourself with more time than before.
