OWU music professor emeritus Robert Griffith discusses the Oct. 25-26 concerts to celebrate the restoration of Ohio Wesleyan’s 4,644-pipe Rexford Keller Memorial Organ in Gray Chapel. Guest performer Alan Morrison “will be playing pieces that have never been played on the Gray Chapel organ,” Griffith tells writer Melissa Dilley. “We hope the people will come out both nights to hear the instrument because of the changing programs and because the organ sounds and shines perhaps even better than it did when it was new.”

OWU politics and government professor Sean Kay discusses how students can succeed in college as part of Cleveland Magazine’s October 2013 Guide to Education. “It’s important that professors create a good dynamic in which students understand that it’s a sign of strength to come and ask for help,” says Kay, Ph.D. “On a more practical level, read the syllabuses and take advantage of office hours. You want the professors to know who you are.”
