BREAKING NEWS!! Today @OhioState announced another 10 tenure-track faculty positions for the Race, Inclusion and Social Equity (RAISE) initiative. With the 15 positions approved earlier this year, we have identified half of the 50 research positions for RAISE!

It has been one of the highlights of my career at Ohio State to assist our Provost in selecting from an extremely strong set of proposals designed to enhance Ohio State's research capacity on race and social equity issues. This goes to the heart of our land grant mission.
It is very rare for a research university to place race *research* at the forefront of the research mission, and this is one aspect that makes RAISE unique. Scholars must feel that their work is valued and critical to the research mission of the institution.
So far, RAISE positions have been approved in areas ranging from History of Art to Speech and Hearing Sciences to Law and Dentistry. We are harnessing the size and scale of our university to break new interdisciplinary ground all over Ohio State!
RAISE is part of a larger effort to increase the number of faculty at the university and to significantly expand the research productivity on campus. Our amazing Provost continues to innovate in ways that will enhance faculty over their lifecourse as scholars.
I look forward to continuing to partner with my faculty colleagues, chairs, deans, and our senior academic leadership as we begin to welcome some truly incredible scholars to Ohio State.
