For years I have lamented that Ohio University didn't market itself on television in the northeast Ohio (Cleveland) area, while other competing Mid-American Conference schools did so. Well, I am so pleased that for the past couple months the I am the promise of Ohio University television spots have been appearing up here.
OU has had a special place in my family's hearts; my wife and I both graduated, as did my two sons, and we have long felt that not enough people know how special OU is. Having been a high school teacher for 38 years, I've certainly influenced a number of students to consider OU, and now that I'm retired, it's nice to see a little more aggressive advertising to get the word out.
I don't know who is responsible for marketing up here, but I say to them, Thank you.
