Ohio State University's dean of the college of engineering said OSU wants to keep community members involved in plans for a north runway expansion at Don Scott Airport.

Ohio State offers two distinct honors programs for high ability undergraduates: Honors and Scholars. The Honors program is open to students in all majors. The Scholars program is centered around thirteen specific programs such as "Architecture Scholars", "Communication Technology Scholars", "International Affairs Scholars" and "Politics, Society and Law Scholars." Students in the Scholars program are expected to live and take select classes with other members of the program. Additionally, Ohio State offers the Honors Collegium with membership extended following the Spring of a student's first or second year to the university's top undergraduates. Collegium students try to compete for internships, graduate schools and nationally competitive awards, such as the Marshall, Rhodes, or Truman Scholarships.

Ohio State University and Don Scott officials finally came face-to-face with Worthington City Council on Monday night, and at least some council members are not pleased with what they heard. After listening to a lengthy report on impacts of a proposed expansion of the OSU airport -- nearly all them positive -- council members said they were disappointed that university officials and consultants did not take into consideration the concerns of residents of the city of Worthington.
