What is the Faculty Newsmakers Gala?

OHIO’s Faculty Newsmakers Gala, a premier campus event led by University Communications and Marketing (UCM), focuses on one thing – celebrating OHIO’s faculty for the exemplary work they do to elevate the University’s national and global profile via media coverage of their research and subject matter expertise. Individuals who are recognized during this annual event are forever known as “OHIO faculty newsmakers.” They are consummate faculty who, regardless of their title or classification, currently teach at Ohio University and have been included in media placements provided by Cision, a media monitoring platform utilized by UCM to track University news.

May I bring a guest to the Gala?

Due to the high number of faculty members being honored, we will not be able to accommodate additional guests.

I can’t make it to the Gala. Will I be able to watch it online?
