When he became Ohio University’s 21st president, Dr. M. Duane Nellis quickly recognized that Ohio University’s excellence is most apparent through its students and thus, the Presidential Leadership Society was formed.

President Nellis wants students from across OHIO’s colleges and encourages College of Arts & Sciences undergraduate and graduate students to apply.
