“We are delighted to welcome David Scholl to the Ohio University Board of Trustees,” said a statement released by the Board of Trustees. “We look forward to Trustee Scholl’s contributions, informed by his engagement with Ohio University as a student and alumnus and his many other public service and leadership experiences.”
