ODU Welcomes New President

During the '00's, ODU was one of Ohio's fastest growing independent campuses, not only in enrollment, but also in physical development. In the past three years, ODU has completed the Alumni Hall adjacent, the Bishop James A. Griffith Student Center, a new residence facility, Lyham Hall, and Battelle Hall Science Center. It also acquired a nearby building that is being converted to classes for its adult-focused LEAD program. The changes will properly set the stage for next year's ODU Centennial.
ODU has long supported AICUO. Not only have two of Dr. Cimbolic's three most-recent predecessors served on the AICUO Executive Committee, but ODU trustee Tom Winters currently serves in that capacity.
The more unusual aspects of yesterday's inauguration included a wonderfully personal introduction of the new president by a faculty member from American University in Washington, D.C. Dr. Kathleen Cimbolic Gunthert is associate professor of psychology who happens to be Dr. Cimbolic's daughter. She spoke not only of her obvious affection for him, but also of his commitment to education. I must also compliment ODU's Chair of its Board of Trustees, Galen Barnes, who easily was funnier in his five minutes than every other board-chair speaker I have ever heard at an inauguration.
Since I met President Cimbolic several months ago, I have seen him move matters forward on campus that elsewhere would have required months or years of unnecessary contemplation for its own sake. Yesterday's events formally commenced—for the better—a new era at Ohio Dominican University.

Movember is Here - Gentlemen, Start Your Growing!

When I was asked 3 years ago to shave my mustache for charity, I balked. I had taken a lot of time and effort to perfect my 'stache and here I was being asked to shave it, just to re-grow it during the month of November. In the end, I decided that this cause was well worth it considering I could be diagnosed and affected and the money raised could be the money that finds a cure. I shaved it and will continue to shave and re-grow every Movember, the month formerly known as November.

New Ohio Private Loan Marketplace Offers Innovative Online Resource to Students Seeking Higher Education Support

One of AICUO’s biggest new initiatives is now under way with the launch of the Ohio Private Loan Marketplace.
College students in Ohio now can use a unique online service to seek additional loans beyond federal and campus sources. Sponsored by the Association and created by Overture Technologies of Bethesda, Md., the Marketplace is an online loan comparison and shopping service available to more than 140,000 students attending 51 Ohio nonprofit institutions of higher education. Prager, Sealy, & Co., LLC, a leading higher education financial services firm, serves as the program manager for AICUO.
The Marketplace connects borrowers with a wide range of competitive loan products from lenders including national banks and nonprofit credit unions. Students have access to many loan options from a growing network of lenders that currently includes Discover Student Loans, NASA Federal Credit Union, Northwest Federal Credit Union, Eli Lilly Federal Credit Union, and cuStudentLoans. A complete list of lenders is available at https://app.overturemarketplace.com/slmp/main/participatingLender.action
As part of Overture’s Student Loan Marketplace network of websites, operating in Ohio and 10 other states, the Ohio Private Loan Marketplace benefits students, families, counselors and higher education institutions by:
- Presenting an upfront, accurate loan comparison without “as low as” advertisements for rates that may not apply to you and a complete listing of loan terms including total cost, monthly payment, interest rate and APR.
- Helping students discover untapped sources of loans with national lenders, credit unions, and regional banks are presented side by side and up to date for an easy, in depth comparison.
- Emphasizing financial literacy and smart borrowing habits, including the need to first obtain all possible federal and state grants, scholarships and loans before considering a private loan.
- Preserving borrower credit scores and privacy, by using a single credit report to match borrower information with multiple lenders’ products, and allowing the applicant to choose which lender, if any, receives this information.
- Providing schools with a straightforward path to HEOA Section 601 compliance, helping colleges comply with the Section 601 regulations with virtually no increase in burden for the financial If you’re a student interested in the Ohio Private Loan Marketplace, please contact your campus financial aid office
