ATHENS, Ohio (WCMH) Dr. Charles J. Ping, who served as president of Ohio University from 1975 until 1994, died Monday at his home in Athens, Ohio. He was 91.
“As we mourn the loss of Charles Ping, we also celebrate his enormous contributions to Ohio University,” said Ohio University President Hugh Sherman. “In addition to his vision of what Ohio University could become, and his dedication to the humanities, he will be remembered most dearly for who he was – compassionate, loving, and respectful of all. He deeply loved our students, his colleagues, and our community.”
Under Ping’s leadership, Ohio University established new academic programs including sports administration, international business, and remote sensing, and created the school’s College of Health and Human Services, now known as the College of Health Sciences and Professions.
