COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State University will soon have permanent lighting installed in the University District, President Kristina Johnson announced Thursday.
According to a release, the university is working with the City of Columbus to install the structures and replace the mobile lighting that was put up earlier this year.
The permanent light installment is part of Ohio State’s dedication for enhancing safety and health on campus, according to Johnson.
Meanwhile, the Ohio State University Police Division swore in four new officers this week and Johnson said there are efforts to recruit and train more officers.
Last year, OSUPD swore in nine new officers.
In a video statement, Johnson thanked the campus community who received a COVID-19 booster shot as the infectious virus remains a concern.
In the video, she reminded students to stay home if they are feeling sick and that there are plans to support them in case they miss class.
