State Representative Connie Pillich and Ohio Chancellor of Higher Education Eric D. Fingerhut will be holding a town hall meeting on the Raymond Walters College campus the evening of Thursday April 30. The event is designed for residents of the 28th Ohio House District to learn about current policy initiatives and to discuss issues, concerns or questions important to them with Representative Pillich and Chancellor Fingerhut.
The meeting, which will begin at 7 p.m., will be held in the Muntz Hall theater, Room 119.
Fingerhut was appointed the seventh Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents on March 14, 2007. He was the first to be appointed by the Governor of the State of Ohio as a member of his cabinet and is charged with building a system of higher education designed to prepare all Ohioans for the 21st century and compete with the rest of the nation in accountability and innovation.
In the months since his appointment, Chancellor Fingerhut has worked steadily to support this vision of change, beginning with his testimony on the budget before the Senate Finance Committee, where he made clear that he “will not flinch from.rethinking how we do business, and suggesting broad and systematic changes in our approaches to higher education in order to move our state forward.”
Representative Pillich is in her first term in representing the 28th Ohio District after defeating Sharonville Mayor Virgil Lovitt in the fall election.
