Diversity: our legacy and future.
Our historical dedication to a diverse learning community extends back to our founding in the early 1800s. It is a point of pride in our history that John Newton Templeton, the fourth African-American in the nation to earn a college degree, graduated from Ohio University 37 years before the Emancipation Proclamation in 1828. Before the turn of the 20th Century, we welcomed our first international student and by 1916, Martha Jane (Hunley) Blackburn became the university’s first female African-American graduate.
Diversity is not an initiative here. It is a commitment renewed every day.
Ohio University continues to play a key pioneering role in embracing the diversity of our students, faculty, alumni and friends from around the region, the nation, and the globe. The Urban Scholars program, the Appalachian Scholars Program, the Institute for the Study of African Languages, and the Center for International Studies are just a few examples of our multicultural learning environment initiatives.
Few institutions of higher learning can boast the impressive legacy of diversity enjoyed by Ohio University.
