We're fortunate that leaders across Columbus are aligned around the importance of excellence in academics, research, healthcare and athletics at our flagship university. I look forward to continuing to work together to build a strong future for our city and state.

Today we took an extraordinary step forward in building a thriving innovation ecosystem in Ohio. The groundbreaking for the Timashev Technology Tower at Ohio State's Innovation District is about more than a building – it's about the new ideas, technologies and companies that will result when students, faculty, staff, industry experts and entrepreneurs are working side-by-side to advance research and discovery in the life sciences, software innovation, AI and more. I'm so grateful to Ratmir and Angela Timashev, JobsOhio, our city and state, and all the partners who made this milestone possible. The future of growth and innovation in Ohio is bright!

A day without GPS would have consequences that go far beyond the inconvenience of taking a wrong turn. Today's Pass the Mic features Professor Zak Kassas, TRC Endowed Chair in Intelligent Transportation Systems in the Ohio State College of Engineering, whose research is helping to rewrite the rules of navigation. Faculty like Dr. Kassas truly demonstrate that Ohio State is an academic powerhouse doing impactful work! @OSUengineering
