Gordon Gee, president of The Ohio State University (right) and William E. “Brit” Kirwan, former president of Ohio State who is now chancellor of the University System of Maryland, joined other Kirwan staff and supporters at a gala celebration at Gee’s home on November 14. The Institute is named in honor of Kirwan, to recognize his successful efforts to champion diversity at the university. The Kirwan Institute provides interdisciplinary research and leadership on issues related to race and ethnicity worldwide. Begun with a staff of two in 2003, the Institute now employs 36 full-time, part-time, and affiliated faculty and staff.
