Gee to sign agreements with community colleges

                         NEWS ADVISORY:
           OHIO STATE TO COMPLETE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
          WITH THREE NORTHEAST OHIO COMMUNITY COLLEGES


     E. Gordon Gee, president of The Ohio State University, will
travel to northeast Ohio on Thursday, Jan. 20, to sign transfer
articulation agreements with three community colleges.  The
agreements will make transferring to Ohio State easier for
students attending Cuyahoga Community College, Lakeland Community
College and Lorain County Community College.  Gee will be joined
at each ceremony by the community college president and by Paul
M. Dutton, chair, and Elaine H. Hairston, chancellor, of the Ohio
Board of Regents.

     The transfer articulation agreements conclude more than a
year of work by the faculties of the institutions.  The
agreements spell out which courses at the community colleges will
be accepted for credit and will apply to degree requirements at
Ohio State.

     The agreements are based on the principles of the Ohio
Articulation and Transfer Policy adopted by the Ohio Board of
Regents.  That policy encourages cooperation among state
supported universities and colleges and supports policies to ease
the student transfer process.

     Below is a schedule of the signing ceremonies on Jan. 20:

10 a.m.  Lorain County Community College, Library, 1005 N. Abbe
Road, Elyria.  Dr. Roy Church, president, will sign for LCCC.

Center of Tri-C's Unified Technologies Center, 2415 Woodland
Ave., Cleveland.  Dr. Jerry Sue Owens, president, will sign for
