Top 3 on 2, 4/8/10
April 7, 2010
Why did you choose to work at Ohio State? The opportunity to work here opened up after I moved to Columbus, from Hawaii, to get married. I have several relatives who work on campus and was told by all of them that this is a great place to work. That certainly turned out to be true!
What do you like about your job? I like knowing that we help patients and their families during a difficult time. Most of the patients I help have traumatic injuries (car accidents, fire, shootings/assaults, etc.) and were not prepared for a sudden hospital visit. It makes it worthwhile coming to work every day, knowing that we’re helping a patient/family with not only financial assistance, but also helping them cope with a sudden, often devastating, situation. I’m amazed by all that our doctors, nurses, social workers, PCRMs, etc., do on a day-to-day basis.
If you weren’t working at Ohio State, what would you be doing? I would enjoy any type of job where I could put my journalism training to use (writing or editing). I’ve often thought being a photographer would be an interesting occupation.
What advice would you give a new employee? Jump in with both feet! Get to know the campus, get to know as many people as you can. This is an amazing place to work, with so much happening every day (from all that the students are doing to the crucial research being conducted).
What would you improve at Ohio State? The parking situation for Medical Center employees: Too many cars and not enough parking spaces!
What is your favorite activity outside of work? Hiking and photography. Ohio has so much to offer a hiking enthusiast, and I’m especially partial to the Hocking Hills region.
What are you going to do when you retire? It’s too far away yet to think about!
Who is your hero? My mother, Drucilla, is my hero. She raised five of us and never wavered in her love and devotion. She is a remarkable woman and I’m very thankful for the input she continues to have in my wife’s and my life.
If you were the university president for a day, what would you do? I would meet as many students as possible and encourage them to continue learning and growing. And then I would talk with Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany about league expansion (for it) and expanding the NCAA Tournament to 96 teams (adamantly opposed).

Construction that began this week and will continue into the summer in and around the Medical Center will affect how drivers navigate the area:
• Cannon Drive between John Herrick Drive and Medical Center Drive has been reduced to one lane in both directions. Significant traffic and CABS service delays are anticipated. Also, access to the Parks Hall parking lot will be available only through the parking lot located south of Lincoln Tower.
• The Polo Lots located west of Cannon Drive lose 50 parking spaces in the northwest corner, and by mid-April, another 150 spaces will be lost due to construction.
• 10th Avenue between Cannon and Dodd Hall Loop will see several construction projects. Only one eastbound lane is open, and all traffic exiting the South Cannon Garage must turn east and exit using Westpark Street. Access to the ER, however, will be maintained.
For complete details and a list of alternative parking options, visit fod.osu.edu/news/index.htm or tp.osu.edu/alerts/summerconstruction.shtml.
President E. Gordon Gee, center, and Ohio Union Director Tracy Stuck, to his left, join other OSU dignitaries and students in cutting the ribbon to open the new Ohio Union on March 29. The union construction was approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2004. The demolition of the old union was completed September 2006 and the new union’s construction began in October that same year.
Concert, construction likely to cause traffic headaches
June 15, 2009
Faculty and staff planning to attend the Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood concert today (6/15) at the Schottenstein Center are reminded that SR 315 construction is likely to create heavy traffic around campus. However, the Medical Center exit ramp and the Lane Avenue entrance ramp to 315 north will still be open this evening. Kenny Road, Olentangy River Road, High Street, Lane Avenue and Woody Hayes Drive are all likely to experience traffic congestion. Traffic officers will be placed strategically around campus to assist motorists.
Concert goers should plan to arrive early for the 8 p.m. show (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) and also anticipate delays leaving the university area. For those who want to arrive before the doors open, there will be live music as well as food and drink on the northeast side of Schottenstein.
If you have a disability and construction temporarily interrupts your access, contact L. Scott Lissner at mailto:ADA-OSU@osu.edu or 292-6207.

Road work on 315 will challenge campus drivers
June 9, 2009
See ODOT map with ramp closures here
Drivers entering and leaving campus via state Route 315 during summer and throughout most of autumn will have to pay close attention and perhaps rearrange their routes because of construction that will close several entrance and exit ramps.
Getting to campus via state Route 315 is going to be trickier this summer and well into fall. Bridge and repaving work being done will close the northbound lanes starting in June from Interstate 670 through the Ackerman Road exit.
