As the Digital Flagship program evolves, the university has announced that it will no longer be providing iPads for incoming students April 26.

DONOVAN VOTYPKA Lantern reporter votypka.4@osu.edu After Executive Vice President and Provost Melissa L. Gilliam announced in a universitywide email the end of the iPad distribution April 26, current first-years and future low-income students are left without guaranteed access to a personal device.

The Digital Flagship program, which included collaboration between Ohio State and Apple, was announced in 2017. It provided technology kits, including an iPad,

case, keyboard, Apple Pencil and AppleCare to incoming freshmen, beginning with the 2018-2019 class.

IPads are most often used to monitor emails, complete coursework and check Carmen, the online portal for class materials and grades. A 2020 Student Life survey found that 96 percent of students agreed or strongly agreed that the tablets “were useful for academic purposes,” and 90 percent of devices were active on a weekly basis. Ohio State received national recognition for this program.

University President Kristina M. Johnson

said in April Ohio State planned to evolve the Digital Flagship program and may provide devices on an as-needed basis.

Julia Frost, a first-year in anthropology, said during her college visit at Ohio State, the distribution of free iPads was discussed, but the program’s cancellation was not mentioned.

“I ended up buying a MacBook instead, however, I regret not having an iPad,” Frost said. “For many of my classes, it would help me immensely if I had an iPad and a MacBook.”

CAMPUS

Stay up to date on the happenings of campus life at Ohio State!

Suicide Prevention Awareness Month: Ohio State provides resources, training to recognize signs KATHERINE SIMON Lantern reporter simon.777@osu.edu No one is alone, and Ohio State provides many resources as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is underway for the prevention and treatment of suicidal thoughts.

Laura Lewis, assistant director of Ohio State’s Suicide Prevention Program, said Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is an effort to spread the message that suicide is preventable.

Lewis said Ohio State’s Suicide Prevention Program provides education and training to give people the skills to help someone who may be at risk.

“We’re a great resource to campus if you want to learn about the topic of suicide and if you want to become more confident how to recognize the signs and symptoms for somebody who may be in distress and how to respond to them and how to get them access to care,” Lewis said.

According to the National Institute for Mental Health, suicide is the third leading cause of death in people aged 15-24, and young men are most at risk.

Ohio State also hosts the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk each year with the goal to inspire hope and healing to prevent suicide. Over 300 people participated in the walk April 9.

Counseling and Consultation Services can provide treatment and therapy for students with suicidal thoughts or mental health concerns, Lewis said.

Ohio State offers a wide variety of suicide prevention resources.

“If you’re in crisis, they will respond and help you and do an immediate appointment,” Lewis said. “CCS is a great resource for how to talk to students and peers who you might want to get to help but don’t know how to get them there or aren’t sure of the words to say.”

Lewis said the university police is also thoroughly trained to handle mental health crises.

“That’s a really great new resource because it’s making it easier for people to get to care,” Lewis said.

physical health, for financial health, even now digital health, and so there’s a ton of programs that they offer,” Lewis said.

AnnaBelle Bryan, director of the Suicide and Trauma Reduction Initiative for Veterans at the Wexner Medical Center of Ohio State, said talking to someone and listening to them is sometimes the best thing to do, but it “does not necessarily mean therapy.”

Lewis said suicide prevention is a shared campus responsibility to look out and help connect people when signs become noticable.

“Sometimes it can be helpful just to make a phone call to the campus police and just simply say ‘I am concerned about someone, what should I do?’ and they will walk you through what they can do and how they can support you, if not going out and doing a well-check specifically on that person,” Lewis said.

Bryan said the approach and type of treatment is different based on the person, but treatment is proven to be effective.

Outside of resources at Ohio State, calling or texting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 will connect individuals with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Lewis said a licensed counselor will then respond in order to help or explain how the caller can help someone in a crisis.

Lewis said one way to help suicide prevention efforts is to look at health in a holistic way, which is what the Student Wellness Center aims to do. The center offers support for people struggling with body image, nutrition and addiction.

“Suicide has no barriers,” Bryan said.

“Mental health diagnoses have no barriers.

Treatment can work and does not have barriers.”

“It’s ok to not be ok,” Lewis said. It’s ok to ask for help. This is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of wisdom and strength.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In January, department chairs and faculty expressed concerns about planning instruction in the absence of the technology, students working with older, less functional devices and the impact of the potential end of the program on low-income students.

Avaya Bell, a third-year in teaching English to speakers of other languages, said throughout her time at Ohio State, she’s used her iPad for most of her college needs, which she said she wouldn’t have been able to have without the program.

“I doubt I would have made the effort to purchase an iPad,” Bell said. “Instead, I probably would have continued using handwritten notes like I did in high school.”

Bell said she has at least one online class per semester, making her iPad necessary because her laptop cannot access Zoom.

University spokesperson Chris Booker referred the Lantern back to its April 26 article, which included statements from Ohio State, when asked to provide a statement.

When the university announced the end of the distribution of iPads, Gilliam said changes to the Digital Flagship program will allow the university to tailor the program to the needs of each student.

“This new approach will enable us to focus on technology access and skill building for all students in a more sustainable way, and I look forward to seeing what you will do with these new resources,” Gilliam said.

The university created an iPad loan program for eligible students for the 202223 year, according to the Digital Flagship website. A supply of devices for a semester or program-duration loan will be available for students who don’t have access to their own. Students can reach out to their academic advisors and the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation if they need to loan technology, according to the website.

Ricky Pinkava, a first-year in mechanical engineering, said he is surprised the university no longer provides iPads but is happy he received an iPad on loan this year after his Physics 1250 class made him eligible.

iPad because I use it for all of my classes, and it has become necessary for my workload in college,” Pinkava said.

Myah Dworning, a second-year in zoology, said the program is part of what set Ohio State apart from other universities.

“The Digital Flagship program was very unique to other colleges,” Dworning said.

“It had a significant role in not only her decision but those of others to attend.”

Ohio State improves among college rankings, faculty comment on factors NORA IGELNIK Lantern reporter igelnik.1@osu.edu This story was originally published Sept.

19 and updated Sept. 21.

Ohio State remained No. 49 among the national universities in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges” rankings Sept. 12, but the university moved up one spot from last year to No. 16 among public colleges.

According to U.S. News, the rankings include 1,500 bachelor’s degree-granting colleges and universities with 17 different measures of quality — including graduation and retention rates and social mobility.

University spokesperson Chris Booker said in an email the university continues to work on improvements to become the “example of a modern land-grant university,” including reducing class sizes, investing in 350 new tenure track faculty in this decade and doubling research expenditures within the next 10 years.

“The university is working toward that goal in several ways that raise Ohio State’s academic, research, operational and service excellence – all of which could influence future rankings,” Booker said.

Ohio State also saw a rise in the ranks of certain colleges — including the Fisher College of Business, which is ranked No. 13 nationally, three spots higher than the previous year.

Dean and John W. Berry Senior Chair in Business Anil K. Makhija said in an email the ranking is a resource for the Fisher College of Business to measure itself “from an external source.” The ranking stems from improvements in graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, financial resources per student and undergraduate academic reputation, he said.

@TheLantern

“It affirms that our efforts are effective and that we offer a competitive product nationally,” Makhija said.

While these rankings have been positive for Ohio State, they don’t come without controversy.

According to a story by The Hill, the ranking lists have received criticism from experts, including U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. In the article, Cardona said these rankings favor colleges who spend time and money on specific criteria. The information used to calculate the rankings are also misleading, forgoing information relevant to the figures.

According to the article, other criticisms of these college rankings include that schools can provide incorrect data — which Columbia University did — and these rankings focus on exclusivity rather than accessibility.

Ohio State’s College of Nursing advanced five spots nationally to No. 5 in the nation and up three spots to No. 2 among public schools nationally.

Wendy Bowles, assistant dean for baccalaureate programs at the College of Nursing, said these new rankings show the college is “making great strides and can be a model for other organizations across the nation.”

“I think that this ranking just signifies, symbolizes, the great education that they [students] get at the Ohio State College of Nursing,” Bowles said. “And it really, it’s no matter where they wanna go within the state of Ohio or outside of the state, it’s something that has a national recognition.

And so it’ll follow them,” Bowles said.

The College of Engineering also rose to No. 15 among public universities that also offer doctoral degrees.

ZACHARY RILLEY | PHOTO EDITOR

Ohio State University remains at No. 49 in the new U.S. News & World Report released annually.

Dean Ayanna Howard said in an Ohio State News release how this ranking mirrors the practices being done in the College of Engineering.

“It’s rewarding to see that faculty and staff efforts to optimize evidence-based classroom practices while increasing the number, quality and diversity of engineering graduates is bearing fruit,” Howard said.

Makhija said these rankings will hopefully encourage more companies to recruit Ohio State students.

“The recent rankings can create more positive visibility for current and future students, which may attract even more companies and organizations interested in recruiting at Fisher,” Makhija said.

Booker said the work Ohio State is doing to further its national position will maintain the university’s value of student accessibility.

“These investments are happening as Ohio State remains committed to access and affordability for current and future

students,” Booker said.

ARTS&LIFE

From concert venues to resturant openings, Arts & Life has it all!

PromoWest Productions provides Columbus concert-goers venue options to see their favorite artists JULIANA HILTON Lantern reporter hilton.115@osu.edu Concert venues animate Columbus, bringing in artists from all over the world and giving them opportunities to perform in the heart of the city.

Venues familiar to Ohio State students — including Newport Music Hall, KEMBA Live!, A&R Music Bar and The Basement — are brought to them by PromoWest Productions, an entertainment company working to bring artists to the Midwest.

Marissa McClellan, marketing director for PromoWest, said the owner, Scott Stienecker, bought the space now known as Newport Music Hall, located on High Street, in 1984. After the space was both the Agora Ballroom in the ‘70s and a movie theater in the ‘20s, McClellan said Stienecker has been hosting live music there ever since.

“The first show that was ever there, at Newport, was Neil Young, so it just has a ton of history behind it,” McClellan said.

“And people that went to Ohio State in the ‘70s and ‘80s, they remember going to shows there all the time, so it’s like it has a nostalgia kind of thing.”

McClellan said around 20 years after Newport Music Hall opened, Stienecker decided to open PromoWest Pavilion, which is now KEMBA Live!, and shortly after, other venues quickly filled the musical corner that sits on Neil Avenue.

“He kind of bought that complex area and then built what you now know as KEMBA in 2001 and that came with eventually what you know now as The Basement and A&R Music Bar,” McClellan said.

McClellan said having these venues close together enables artists to see how they differ from each other and the opportunity to play in all of them as their fanbase and popularity grow.

“What has frequently happened is we will have a band play The Basement, and then they get a little more popular, and then they’ll play Newport Music Hall, and then maybe they’ll play KEMBA indoor and then maybe they’ll play the outdoor venue,” McClellan said. “The point is to grow these artists and get them, you know, on their way up before they hit the arenas.”

MIRANDA LIPTON

McClellan said the venues’ locations benefit concert-goers because they can potentially attract bands that they wouldn’t normally get by appealing to agents.

“But I think that just having the four venues helps us get more bands that maybe we wouldn’t get typically, because we have a little bit of buying power,” McClellan said. “If the dates are available, if a show sells out at Newport, we can move it to KEMBA, things like that I think agents like as well.”

Isabel Nixon, a second-year in graphic design, said she has been to concerts at several PromoWest venues, but her experience at The Basement was her favorite.

“It was just so intimate and, like, it was just nice and small and, like, it just felt, I don’t know, it was a lot more fun that, like, everybody was kind of in there together in the same space,” Nixon said.

Nixon said as an Ohio State student, she is glad that she and everyone else has the opportunity to visit such a range of venues that are close to the campus area.

“As someone who likes going to concerts and, you know, seeing artists in real life it’s something that’s very important to me that we have that in the area,” Nixon said.

Local business The Plant Gays aims to start its own Green(ery) Revolution EMMA WOZNIAK Lantern reporter wozniak.82@osu.edu For those of us who may feel outside of the proud plant parent community or have a knack for plant picking, The Plant Gays might be able to help out.

The local plant shop, located at 212 Kelton Ave. in the East Market, is run by two recent Ohio State graduates, known as The Plant Gays. The couple advertises a variety of plant-related services, from repotting plants to in-home consultations.

David Erbe, owner of The Plant Gays, said the idea started as a simple 3D-printing hobby of creating silicone molds and concrete planters to pass the time during quarantine. Since then, the hobby has transformed into a successful business with a physical store where locals can purchase items, like house plants and propagation stations.

“We offer in-home design service as well,” Erbe said. “If people are interested, and, that’s where we go out to the home and kind of see what kind of space and lighting they’re working with, and can pick out plants for their space as well as any, like, interior design furniture that they’re looking for.”

Aidan Robinson, co-owner of The Plant Gays, said the business model has changed over time as they continue to grow. After starting an Instagram account in September 2020 and gaining a following, Robinson said the duo began thinking about how they could turn their hobby into a business and began selling products online two months later.

“I started doing that as a hobby during lockdown as I had more time, making planters and propagation stations that you can see on our website, like, all of our concrete items are handmade by us,” Erbe said.

“And so that’s how we kind of started, by selling those items first. And we also just collected a lot of house plants during the pandemic and really got into all the house plants as well.”

Despite both having degrees in landscape architecture and city and regional planning from Ohio State, Erbe and Robinson, respectively, didn’t cross paths until a fateful Tinder match, Erbe said.

Once they learned they were both on track to graduate from the Knowlton School of Architecture a year apart, Erbe said, they formally met. As the similarities within their interests came to light, a romance developed.

“So, it kinda all just fell into place,” Erbe said of his now over five-year long partnership — both in business and romance — with Robinson.

Since opening their first physical retail shop five months ago, Erbe said The Plant Gays have been able to sell a wider range of items, and moving to the East Market brought more visibility to the business.

“I just like being in the shop and seeing people’s faces,” Erbe said. “I feel like plants just make people happy and can be therapeutic and a good hobby for a lot of people.”

Robinson, who works full-time as an interior designer for a furniture company, said he often hears clients express their desire for a plant shop that will provide planting tips or plant-related services, like repotting.

“We heard a lot from clients and people that were buying from us that there’s basically a lack of a market that offers an inhome consultation, especially for plants,” Robinson said. “And with plants, there’s been such a high demand over the last year, especially starting with the pandemic. So, we feel like we’re kind of reaching a market that hasn’t been tapped yet,

which is really exciting.”

Now that their retail store is up and running, Robinson said the duo is looking forward to branching out to more people.

“Since we’ve had time to sort of settle down in our first location, we’re excited to kind of get back out doing the market settings because I feel like we can reach a wide range of different communities,” Robinson said.

The Plant Gays are preparing for their appearance at the Columbus Coffee Festival where they’ve partnered with the festival to pot succulents and other plants in the festival’s branded mugs from years prior to sell to customers, Erbe said.

Robinson said plants are not as intimidating and more relaxing than many think.

“For a lot of people, plants can be very intimidating,” Robinson said. “Just for myself, it’s helped relieve a lot of anxiety,

just having that sort of organic element in our space. But to me, it’s kind of like shifting that paradigm — it’s not as daunting as people think it is, and it can be really manageable. But I think a lot of people just need that sort of expertise to help them navigate their sort of day-to-day journey with their plants.”

The Plant Gays booth will be set up at the Columbus Coffee Festival Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. More information on the event and ticket purchasing can be found on the event website.

Women’s Volleyball: Londot earns consecutive Big Ten honors, helping Buckeyes become ‘complete team’ PATRICK KENNEY Lantern reporter kenney.176@osu.edu Junior opposite hitter Emily Londot plays a big role in changing the culture of the Ohio State women’s volleyball team.

Londot and No. 7 Ohio State began the season with a pair of top-10 matchups at home against then-No. 2 Texas Aug. 26-27, then entered a five-week road stretch where the Buckeyes currently have gone 4-2.

On the road, the team saw ranked matchups during the Cardinal Classic and Georgia Tech Classic — which included Ohio State’s first win over a top-three team in program history against then-No. 3 Louisville Sept. 4. Londot said the Buckeyes have built team camaraderie.

74 digs, which have helped her record five double-doubles this season.

Londot gave credit to senior setter Mac Podraza — who also earned a conference honor and was named Big Ten Setter of the Week Sept. 12. Podraza said Londot has worked well with her on the court, which has helped Ohio State remain competitive against top-ranked opponents.

“Londot is an absolute stud,” Podraza said.

“I think she does well with the positions that I put her in. It’s hard to give a good ball every single time.”

Londot played a big role in Ohio State’s victory Sept. 11 over then-No. 5 Georgia

Tech — the same program that eliminated the Buckeyes in the NCAA Tournament last season.

Londot said the 3-1 win over the Yellow Jackets was a great accomplishment. She said the team believed they could beat Georgia Tech last season, and this win will propel the team “to move forward.”

Even though the Buckeyes started their season with back-to-back home matchups, Londot is thriving on the road. Since the home openers, the Utica, Ohio, native is averaging over 14 kills per match and said the team builds energy like each match is at home.

“I think when we go to opponents’ gyms, we do a really great job of building our own energy,” Londot said. “I think in Covelli the crowd is our seventh man, and it is so loud in there.”

Londot said it feels good to be connected to her teammates as the Buckeyes prepare for Big Ten play beginning at Iowa Friday at 7 p.m., for which the team is looking forward.

“It feels good, just to have all the pieces falling together,” Londot said. “I think we’re working well as a complete team, and everyone is putting in their full effort.

I think it’s really allowing us to be the best team we can be right now.”

“These trips are super fun for us,” Londot said. “We’ll just be on the bus playing random games, singing, laughing and all that stuff.”

Behind the Buckeyes’ close-knit culture, Londot is off to one of the best season starts of her Ohio State volleyball career.

She won Big Ten Co-Player of the Week back-to-back weeks Sept. 5 and 12 and has recorded at least 10 kills in all eight matches this season. Londot said even with her early success, she’s still noticing her game evolve.

“Just as much as other teams are learning about me, I think every single week I learn about myself,” Londot said. “I see things and make changes during the next week, so it’s kind of a different person every week that you’ll see.”

In 27 sets played so far, Londot’s 114 kills put her at an average of 4.222 kills per set, which ranks third in the Big Ten. She also ranks third in the Big Ten in average points per set at a 4.81 clip.

Be in the know about the ins and outs of Ohio State Athletics!

Men’s Ice Hockey: Buckeyes look to lean on experienced goaltending in 2022-23 experienced goaltending will have a snowball effect on the rest of the team.

“It’s our biggest foundation,” Carlson said. “I think all the guys in front of them, forwards, defense, should have a well understanding that no matter who’s in the net, we’re going to stop some pucks. So, if they happen to break down or something, we’re going to be right there.”

Dobeš said Ohio State’s trio of goaltenders are each talented and he added that he enjoys supporting his teammates when they’re on the ice.

“It’s a lot of fun cheering every single day,” Dobeš said. “I think we’ll make a good solid three goaltenders for a league, and I think we will help our team a lot.”

Ohio State opens the 2022-23 season with a weekend set Oct. 1-2 against Mercyhurst at the Mercyhurst Ice Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. The Buckeyes fell in three games against Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal series a season ago.

Ohio State senior goaltender Ryan Snowden (30) played in five games during his junior season.

CODY CHALFAN Lantern reporter chalfan.3@osu.edu One of the most important things for any team is experience. In ice hockey, that’s no different, and Ohio State will have plenty of it come in the 2022-23 season.

The Buckeyes return three goaltenders from last season in sophomores Jakub Dobeš and Reilly Herbst as well as senior Ryan Snowden. Herbst said Ohio State’s experience at the position is bolstering the confidence of the goalies.

“It’s fun going to the rink every day and passing with Snowden and Dobeš just because they’re such good goalies,” Herbst said. “It’s really fun when you’re not in the net; you get to watch them and learn from them. So, I think we’ll have a solid year.”

Dobeš played in all but two of the Buckeyes’ games last season, finishing second in the Big Ten Conference with a .932 save percentage — the second highest singleseason save percentage in program history — and fifth with a 2.31 goals against average. The 2022 Big Ten Goaltender and co-Freshman of the Year made 1,086 saves

and led Ohio State to 21 of its 22 wins in 35 games.

Snowden arrived at Ohio State prior to the 2019-20 season and spent two years in the United States Hockey League, playing with the Des Moines Buccaneers and Central Illinois Flying Aces. Herbst also offers USHL experience, playing with the Dubuque Fighting Saints and Omaha Lancers in 2020-21.

Volunteer assistant coach Dustin Carlson, who played between the pipes as a Buckeye from 2008-11, said Ohio State’s

Snowden said Ohio State’s goaltenders “get along really well,” and behind their combination of confidence and experience, he said the Buckeyes are looking forward to the season.

“I think we’re going to have a good year ahead of us. We’re a pretty close group of goalies,” Snowden said. “We show up to work every day and always have fun and get along, which is, I think, the biggest parts of having a good starting trio. It’s going to be a good year.”
