Abstract

If passed through the Ohio Senate, Senate Bill 1 would ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs at public and private universities -including YSU- as well as technical colleges in Ohio and affect other operations. Former YSU President Jim Tressel was nominated Feb. 10 as Ohio's next lieutenant governor by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. Two degrees offered by the Williamson College of Business Administration have been internationally accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. With President Donald Trump's memorandum requiring a freeze to all federal grant funding, many students were left uncertain as to whether or not their loans, scholarships or grants would be affected. The Varsity Club sports bar in downtown Youngstown is featured. YSU's Over Sixty program is featured. YSU's Brendon Kilpatrick was the recipient of the 2024 Football Championship Subdivision Punter of the Year award. YSU's Penguin Productions brought back the Federal Frenzy Face-Off. Black History Month continues at YSU as the Judith Rae Solomon Gallery showcases Crystal Miller's work on Afrofuturism. Restaurants near campus are featured for Valentine's day. The penguin baseball team waddles to Texas to face Baylor University. YSU softball team opened its 2025 season by competing in the Wofford Tournament at Spartanburgh, South Carolina. With a few games left in the 2024-2025 basketball season, the men's basketball team recorded an 84-75 win over Oakland University. YSU women's lacrosse team finished its match in sudden death against Lindenwood University.
