College of Education and Human Ecology - March 2009 EHE News Source

Message from the Dean: Faculty, alumni, their worthy work

News arrives daily of the worthwhile contributions our faculty and alumni make to our world. Most recently, Ohio Governor Ted Strickland appointed Associate Professor David Stein to the Ohio Senior Civic Engagement Council. We are proud of his prominence, which led to the appointment. Read more on our website.

The college's alumni, faculty, and staff contributed in a big way to Ohio State's appearance on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll:

OSU Kid Corps - alumna and Assistant Professor Cynthia Buettner (PhD '04) and alumnus and Program Manager Aaron Robertson (MS '03)
EDU PAES 542, Lifetime Motor Development - Associate Professor Jackie Goodway

Read about the students' community service led by these people.
