Ohio State president plans summer trip to China

COLUMBUS (AP) — The president of Ohio State University, the country’s second-biggest university, is leading a trip to China later this month.

University President Gordon Gee will travel with Ohio State officials to four Chinese cities from June 25 to July 7 as part of the university’s outreach efforts.

The university is expanding its international reach through satellite offices, starting in China, India and Brazil.

The goal of the China trip is to build on Ohio State’s reputation for teaching and research and strengthen opportunities for partnerships with businesses and Chinese universities.

Gee also plans to meet with a 110-year-old alumnus who received a master’s from Ohio State in 1931 and is a retired professor at Nanjing University.
