Scholarship and Student Leadership Dinner
The Annual Scholarship and Student Leadership Dinner brings together donors, scholarship recipients and campus leadership to celebrate the significance of COTC and Ohio State Newark’s scholarship program. Donors get the opportunity to meet the students who are benefitting from their scholarship, and scholarship recipients get to meet the generous donors who have invested in their education. The event also serves as a venue to announce the annual student leadership awards.
A History of Giving
In 1966, the Newark community embarked on a fundraising campaign to establish a permanent state-owned building for The Ohio State University’s Newark branch that would make available both day and evening classes for local students. More than 7,000 Licking County contributors pledged funds in excess of $1 million, far exceeding the local campaign goal of $625,000. Founders Hall was constructed as the first building on the Newark campus, and Central Ohio Technical College joined the campus as a co-located partner in 1971.
