“This initiative is part of a comprehensive approach that includes improved lighting, addi tional surveillance cameras and license plate readers and expand ed non-police security patrols that bring university resources into the areas where many of our students live,” Hedman said.
“On campus, we’ve also com pleted installation of surveillance cameras at all campus parking garages to complement the more than 4,000 cameras already in service,” Hedman said.
“We all have a role in creating and supporting a safe and wel coming campus,” Hedman said.
“We ask students, faculty and staff to do their part by locking doors and windows at home and securing motor vehicles, travel ing groups and paying attention to their surroundings to enhance the safety of all Buckeyes.”

Ohio State to continue current safety programs and patrols this fall
2022Aug.Tuesday,23, CAMPUSPage 2 Ohio State is collaborating with local school districts to create an agricultural program for eighth graders. ON PAGE 7
This story was originally published Aug. 10 and updated Aug. 22 for the Back-to-School Edition. As Ohio State reports fewer campus crimes than past sum mers, the university will keep its current safety programs, sur veillance and joint patrols with University Police and Columbus Division of Police officers for the fall semester.
Ohio State will maintain safety protocols put into place spring semester.
In addition to Ohio State’s safety measures, Hedman said the university encourages students, faculty and staff to take measures to keep themselves safe.
Hedman also said the university has been working to make campus itself safer, which in cludes better monitoring of park ing garages following multiple car break-ins that occurred this past spring.
There were 65 instances of rob beries, thefts and assaults within a one-mile radius of campus from Aug. 1-22, according to the LexisNexis Community Crime Map, with 43 motor vehicle theft as the most common crime. Robbery of an individual was the least common crime, with only three instances reported. According to the map, fewer crimes have occurred this year compared to the same 22-day period last year, which saw 96 robberies, thefts and assaults near campus. Last year, theft was the most common crime followed by residential burglary and motor vehicle theft. This follows a trend of lower crime rates around campus. During the first five months of 2022, crimes committed in the campus area fell to its lowest number in 10 years. Even with lower crime rates, Ohio State will maintain the numerous safety measures im plemented last year — including Buckeye Block Watch, a part nership with Community Crime Patrol and expanded hours for the Lyft Ride Smart at Ohio State program for students. These measures came after a parent group, Buckeyes for a Safe Ohio State, urged the university to make a change after six neighborhood safety notices were issued in August and five in September 2021. University spokesperson Dan Hedman said in an email the university has expanded their Columbus joint patrol program, which includes a collaboration between Columbus Police and University Police to patrol the immediate off-campus area. The program is now expanded to three university police officers working with one Columbus Police Hedmanofficer.saidthis expansion is a part of a larger effort to make the campus area safer.

Owens said the program will have access to Ohio State’s mobile bug zoo at the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Labora tory, which will show the eighth graders the research done in the farmland and highlight different career paths.
Crawley said the program aims to increase diversity in the world of agriculture by involving more youths of color. The program will host up to 30 kids in the first co hort with hopes to expand in the future, she said.
Owens said CFAES proposed to make the camp year-round and end with a four-night summer camp for 40 youth to experience college life on campus.

“Having an overnight camp might be fun, but it is not going to hugely impact these young people, help ing them better understand the ca reer path and connecting them to this work,” Owens said. “So, we came back to her with a proposal for a year-round program where we integrate agriculture as well as community development, lead ership development, etc.”
“Especially for the on-campus ex perience, we would love more of the students to engage with cur rent Ohio State students to talk about their experiences,” Crawley said.
Crawley said the hope is to con tinue this program with the help of its alumni to come back and teach the new eighth graders. She said the team eventually hopes to introduce high schoolers to the program as well.

Before beginning his Buckeye career, Stover helped his parents run their farm, and his family owns two butcher shops, with one in his hometown Mansfield and the other in Powell.
But in the Stover family, work ing on the family farm isn’t an extracurricular activity but an everyday responsibility.
Asfarm.he progressed through his own football career, Cade Stover said his father encouraged him to pursue his athletic passions.
Trevor Stover understood the grind of being a successful stu dent-athlete; he played tight end at Bowling Green in the 1990s.
“Cade’s really worked hard,” head coach Ryan Day said Aug. 11. “His physicality is what you notice the most. For a big guy, he is athletic, has good ball skills and has worked hard in the offseason to work on his route running and catching the ball, so that’s been excellent.”

“You can tell that he has a really good upbringing. He’s a dude that I want in my foxhole-type guy, so he’s not going to blame me for something,” Rossi said. “We’re working together out there, and I can trust him. It’s great having him out there.”

Coaching the Cowboys to a top-three finish in total defense behind an average of 297.9 yards allowed per game last year, Knowles is now part of a pro gram expecting a turnaround de fensively, already installing “75 percent” of the new defensive scheme after the 15th preseason practice Monday.
Hickman said during Big Ten Media Days July 27 that injuries and other factors played a part in some of the learning experiences the Buckeyes saw a sea son ago, but those challenges only prepared them for what’s to come.
“We had guys that had to step up and fill their shoes last year, but this year we have young guys who are playing tremendous and then we have the older guys who are helping them out, but also playing tremendous as well,” Hickman said. “I’m excited for our defense. The sky’s the limit for them.”
“You hope that every year you’re in that position at Ohio State. I think that’s what makes Ohio State unique,” Day said. “But you can’t start getting too far down the road with that stuff. It just doesn’t work. You got to keep grinding every day and stay hungry.”
“It’s a long process. It’s going to be a long run and you may not like it. Some people don’t like it here.
Ohio State’s roster going into the new season is full of players from a variety of different backgrounds and journeys. Some arrived in 2018, others this summer and many who were part of the pandem ic-impacted season in 2020.
