俄亥俄州立大学选定新校长：Ravi Bellamkonda明年1月1日上任
俄亥俄州立大学董事会上周投票通过，任命埃默里大学工程学院院长 Ravi Bellamkonda 为该校第17任校长，明年1月1日正式上任，接替过渡校长 Peter Mohler。董事 Krisanthe Vlachos 表示，选校长委员会一致认为 Bellamkonda 是理想人选，将带领学校的“教育为先”战略前行。
Bellamkonda 于2024年出任埃默里大学罗伯特·W·伍德拉夫工程学院院长，此前在杜克大学任教21年，是生物医学工程学者，专注于神经系统再生药物与装置。他出生于印度，童年在印度棉花农场长大，家里没有电，17岁第一次走进生物课堂，自称是“偶然成为工程师”的人。
Bellamkonda 说：“我这辈子一直在为这一刻做准备。”俄亥俄州立大学是全美规模最大的公立研究型大学之一，在校学生超过6万，拥有庞大的医学中心和校友网络，新任校长的办学方向备受关注。（GSM 据《哥伦布快报》报道）
Ohio State Names Ravi Bellamkonda as Next President, Taking Office January 1
Ohio State University's Board of Trustees voted last week to appoint Ravi Bellamkonda, dean of Emory University's engineering school, as the university's 17th president. He takes office January 1, succeeding interim president Peter Mohler. Trustee Krisanthe Vlachos said the search committee unanimously considered Bellamkonda the ideal choice to lead the school's 'Education for All' strategy.
Bellamkonda became dean of Emory's Robert W. Woodruff School of Engineering in 2024 after 21 years at Duke University. A biomedical engineering scholar focused on regenerative medicine and devices for the nervous system, he was born in India and grew up on a cotton farm without electricity, sitting in a biology classroom for the first time at 17; he calls himself an 'accidental engineer.'
'I've been preparing for this moment my whole life,' Bellamkonda said. Ohio State is one of the largest public research universities in the United States, with more than 60,000 students, a major medical center and a vast alumni network. (GSM, from Columbus Dispatch reporting)
