But in August, I will become president of Pace University in New York. While I am excited by that challenge, leaving this incredible place is hard. �鶹��Ƶ will always be part of my heart.</p> <p>It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your president. Getting to know and become friends with so many of you in this amazing community has been deeply meaningful to me. I will cherish those friendships for as long as I live.</p> <p>The extraordinary education �鶹��Ƶ offers is produced by the combined efforts, ideas, and generosity of thousands of individuals—faculty, staff, alumni, students, parents, and the people of this town. All of you contribute to advancing �鶹��Ƶ’s distinctive educational mission. I wish I could personally thank every one of you.</p> <p>Working together, we have accomplished much over the past decade. �鶹��Ƶ, like other liberal arts colleges, faces significant challenges. But we should be proud of our many achievements. I know you and generations of �鶹��Ƶians to come will continue to build on them.</p> <p>�鶹��Ƶ’s greatest asset is its people. I’ve enjoyed getting to know so many of you. I am deeply grateful for all your support, advice, counsel, and generosity. We have advanced �鶹��Ƶ’s mission in profound ways. I leave knowing that �鶹��Ƶ will continue to grow and flourish under the leadership of your new president, Carmen Twillie Ambar. And I know you will help her every way you can.</p> <p>Again, it has been an honor and a privilege to have been your president these past ten years. I look forward to watching �鶹��Ƶ progress, to staying in touch, and to seeing you when next our paths meet. From the bottom of my heart, thank you one and all.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2017-06-22T12:00:00Z">Thu, 06/22/2017 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Marvin Krislov</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2380">Marvin Krislov</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2577">Office of the President</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2555">President's Desk</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">John Seyfried</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Celebrating President Marvin Krislov</h1> <p>hhempste — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 19:48:29 +0000</p> <span>Celebrating President Marvin Krislov</span> <span><span>hhempste</span></span> <span><time datetime="2017-06-06T15:48:29-04:00" title="Tuesday, June 6, 2017 - 15:48">Tue, 06/06/2017 - 15:48</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>After a <a href="http://new.oberlin.edu/office/president/a-decade-of-leadership">decade of leadership</a>, Marvin Krislov will step down as the 14th president of �鶹��Ƶ on June 30, 2017.</p> <p>Watch <a href="https://youtu.be/VP5nYzM0ZdM"><em>Marvin Krislov: A Celebration of His Decade of Dedication and Service</em></a>.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2017-05-24T12:00:00Z">Wed, 05/24/2017 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2380">Marvin Krislov</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2577">Office of the President</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">John Seyfried</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Response to Proposed Federal Budget Cuts</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 01 May 2017 14:53:18 +0000</p> <span>Response to Proposed Federal Budget Cuts</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2017-05-01T10:53:18-04:00" title="Monday, May 1, 2017 - 10:53">Mon, 05/01/2017 - 10:53</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The budget proposals being put forward by the Trump administration are deeply troubling in many ways for our society and for American higher education, especially for liberal arts institutions such as �鶹��Ƶ. The proposed cuts in discretionary spending are contrary to our values of access and inclusion, and our commitment to scientific research, the arts, and the humanities.</p> <p>If these proposals are enacted as written—an open question at this point—we would see funding for the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants eliminated. The Pell Grant program’s current surplus of $10.6 billion would be reduced by $1.7 billion this fiscal year and an additional $3.9 billion in fiscal 2018, putting the long-term viability of the Pell program in question. Federal work-study and other programs which help students from lower-income families prepare to enter and succeed in postsecondary education would also be cut.</p> <p>Those cuts alone would be devastating. But there are many more in the proposed budget. The National Institutes of Health budget would be cut by $5.8 billion. That could reduce funding for scientific research conducted on college and university campuses. Proposed cuts as well as the rule changes being enacted at the Environmental Protection Agency may affect �鶹��Ƶ’s efforts to combat climate change. And the proposal to eliminate the Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs the AmeriCorps program, and the proposals to end the Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) would have a deleterious effect on millions of Americans and their communities.</p> <p>In the interest of full disclosure, I am a member of the National Council on the Humanities which oversees the NEH, and I am a passionate supporter of the arts and humanities at the local, state, and national levels.</p> <p>I am opposed to these proposed cuts. If you share that view, I encourage you to contact your elected representatives and make your views known. Along with my fellow presidents from the Five Colleges of Ohio consortium—the College of Wooster, Denison University, Kenyon College, �鶹��Ƶ and Ohio Wesleyan University—I signed a letter of support for the NEA and NEH which was sent to President Donald Trump, Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman, and our respective representatives in Congress.</p> <p><strong>Here is the text of our letter:</strong></p> <p><em>Dear Mr. President,</em></p> <p><em>At this critical time, continued Federal funding for the important work being done at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is essential.</em></p> <p><em>As the presidents of Ohio’s leading liberal arts colleges, we have seen how the NEA and NEH provide vital resources for local initiatives at our colleges, in our communities, in our state, and across the nation. That support helps the arts and humanities drive innovation and generate economic uplift in thousands of American communities.</em></p> <p><em>Pioneering exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art, free “Concerts in the Park” by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and after-school art instruction for elementary school children in Appalachia through the Dairy Barn Southeastern Ohio Cultural Arts Center in Athens are just three of the many arts and humanities programs in Ohio made possible by the NEA and NEH.</em></p> <p><em>On the national level, the NEH has funded groundbreaking scholarly research, aided libraries and museums across the country in preserving their humanities collections and essential cultural and educational resources, cataloged more than 63 million pages of our nation’s historic newspapers, and helped millions of young people grapple with the lessons of history. Additionally, both the NEH and NEA offer healing programs for wounded military personnel, as well as veterans and their families, and veterans reintegrating into civilian life.</em></p> <p><em>The NEA supports art and education programs in every Congressional District in the United States. Access to the arts for all Americans is a core principle of the Endowment. The majority of NEA grants go to small and medium-sized organizations and schools, and a significant percentage of grants fund programs in high-poverty communities. Both agencies extend their influence through states’ arts agencies and humanities councils, ensuring that programs reach even the smallest communities in remote rural areas.</em></p> <p><em>As educators, we have seen how NEH and NEA programs benefit America’s young people by breaking down ethnic and socio-economic barriers between student populations that might not otherwise meet. Playing in an orchestra, being in a theater production or working on a history project can provide structure, a sense of purpose and a feeling of belonging that have a powerful, positive effect on the lives of young people, especially those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods and areas.</em></p> <p><em>As President Lyndon Johnson said when he signed the bill creating the NEH and NEA agencies, “The arts and humanities belong to the people, for it is, after all, the people who create them.” Federal funding for the arts and humanities is essential to our education system, our economy, and our greatness as a nation. We ask you to join us in honoring the spirit of creativity and challenge you to strengthen these outstanding American institutions.</em></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2017-03-31T12:00:00Z">Fri, 03/31/2017 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Marvin Krislov</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2380">Marvin Krislov</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2555">President's Desk</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item"> John Seyfried</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Marvin Krislov Named Pace University President</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 01 May 2017 14:53:18 +0000</p> <span>Marvin Krislov Named Pace University President</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2017-05-01T10:53:18-04:00" title="Monday, May 1, 2017 - 10:53">Mon, 05/01/2017 - 10:53</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Marvin Krislov, the president of �鶹��Ƶ College, announced today that he has agreed to become president of Pace University in New York City, on August 1, 2017.

More importantly, he was a devoted father, a loving husband, and a good man.</p> <p>Like many of you, I had the honor of getting to know John and his family through work, school, civic functions, and youth sports. I always marveled at what an upbeat, friendly, solution-oriented person he was.</p> <p>Being the superintendent of a public school system is a tough, demanding position. John handled it with remarkable wisdom, energy, fairness, resolve, and unwavering civility. He did a terrific job leading our schools. He cared deeply about all �鶹��Ƶ’s young people, and about his teachers and staff. He articulated a positive vision for the future of �鶹��Ƶ’s public schools and for our community. And he was a great partner in various initiatives with �鶹��Ƶ College and the city of �鶹��Ƶ.</p> <p>There were times when I think we all wondered if John had a twin brother because he seemed to be everywhere. He and Rebecca, his wife, attended and volunteered to work at so many school functions. Fans of the �鶹��Ƶ High School soccer team on which John’s sons played tell me he rarely missed a game despite his busy schedule.</p> <p>I had the privilege of getting to know John well through our respective jobs. He was simply a wonderful human being. I am deeply saddened by his loss, as I know all of you are. Please join me in holding the Schroth family in your thoughts and prayers.</p> <p>The Schroth family asked us to share the following information regarding services for John.</p> <p>Calling Hours – Sunday, April 26, 2-4 p.m., 6-8 p.m., Bogner Family Funeral Home, 36625 Center Ridge Road, North Ridgeville</p> <p>Funeral – Monday, April 27, 7 p.m., The First Church in �鶹��Ƶ, United Church of Christ, 106 N.
