Good Day!
WELCOME TO OSUToday, the latest news and information for faculty and staff of The Ohio State University for Monday, July 7. The deadline for submissions is noon the prior business day.

 OSUToday sponsored by the Wexner Center for the Arts
Join us this week as we kick off our Stanley Kubrick: Retrospective, a two-month series featuring every one of Kubrick’s unforgettable feature films. A true film icon, Kubrick combined a commanding visual sense with a darkly comic worldview in such films as 2001: a Space Odyssey (showing here Friday night in a 70mm print), A Clockwork Orange, and Dr. Strangelove, as well as in less familiar titles.
