UCM reveals OHIO News, retires Compass

University Communications and Marketing (UCM), under the direction of its first-ever Vice President Robin Oliver, has announced the launch of its new online publishing platform OHIO News, set to replace Compass starting September 12, 2019.

“Ohio University has incredible stories to tell, and this new platform will give us a home for those stories moving forward,” Oliver said. “We designed OHIO News with intentionality, to engage prospective students and their families, alumni and friends of the university, current students, and all OHIO stakeholders with compelling content about the work we do and the people we serve.”

UCM also announced that the weekly Compass email newsletter sent on Thursdays will continue with a new look under the OHIO News brand beginning on Thursday, Sept. 12. OHIO Employee News, otherwise known as OEN, will continue as planned with distribution each Monday morning to OHIO faculty and staff.

University news from October 2017 to present day will be searchable on the new OHIO News site. Please contact UCM at news@ohio.edu with any questions about the transition for University news and information.
