BYESVILLE -- Dr. James Fonseca, dean of the Ohio University-Zanesville, updated the Byesville Rotary about current OUZ programs and plans.
Dean Fonseca said tuition at OUZ is very reasonable. A new program, Access to Success, can provide first-time, full-time freshmen of any age with a tuition waver of up to $3,100. More information about this program which runs through the spring of 2012 is available at ouzservices@ohio.edu or (740) 588-1439.
This tuition waver means that tuition costs at OUZ are at the same price level as tuition at two-year and tech colleges. It also means that getting an education at OU Zanesville is a big bargain because Ohio University is rated as one of the top 16 universities in the United States.
Currently, there are about 1500 students registered at OUZ. The campus is homey and friendly. Dean Fonseca stated that class sizes are kept small so that each student can receive the individualized attention associated with a small, liberal arts college.
OU Zanesville is proud of the 55 full-time faculty teaching classes at OUZ. Many are recognized internationally for their research. The dean is especially proud of the number of women scientists who teach at OUZ. These instructors include a physicist, a biologist, geologist and anthropologist.
Dr. Fonseca's goal is to develop a new site and establish an OU Cambridge Center which will allow OUZ to expand class offerings. OUZ has outgrown the classroom space being used for classes at the Willett-Pratt Training Center in Cambridge.
"Plans are being developed that will allow OUZ to offer the first two years of coursework at an OU educational center in Cambridge," he said.
More information about OU Zanesville is available at http://www.zanesville.ohiou.edu/welcome.htm.> During the business meeting, club members were invited to join the "Breakfast with the Bunny" planning committee and the Scholarship Committee which will begin interviewing students soon. The club has begun planning its annual health screening. Dalton Summers, Interact advisor, said several students from the area will be participating in the "Four-way Speech Contest" which will be April 17.
