It has been two years since Mike DeWine was sworn in to serve as Ohio's 70th governor, joined by Jon Husted as lieutenant governor. From the very beginning, Governor DeWine requested that his Cabinet listen carefully to the people of the state and then proceed to act with a sense of urgency to change Ohio. In 2019, Chancellor Randy Gardner began an extensive outreach effort to listen to students, higher education leaders, faculty, members of college and university boards of trustees, and Ohio's business community. Chancellor Gardner visited a total of 74 college and university campuses in addition to a number of Ohio Technical Centers and career centers throughout 2019. In sharp contrast, the year 2020 marked an unprecedented time of anxiety, uncertainty, and crisis as the COVID-19 pandemic struck the nation. However, despite the strange circumstances and difficult challenges, elevating higher education remained a priority in Ohio. This document provides a brief summary of what the DeWine-Husted Administration -- and the Department of Higher Education -- has accomplished in its first two years leading the state.
