Ohio Sea Grant Director Ends Tenure on a High Note

If you live in the Great Lakes and pay attention to the news on a semi-regular basis, you’ve probably seen, heard or read about Dr. Jeff Reutter, Director of Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Laboratory at The Ohio State University. After 42 years at Ohio Sea Grant and Stone Lab, as a researcher, educator and administrator, Reutter stepped down from his position on March 31, 2015.

And with accomplishments like the creation of a STEM youth program that reaches 8,000 people every year, more than $1.3 million in endowments for scholarships and research equipment and partnerships ranging from local communities to international collaborations, Reutter leaves behind a legacy of successes that will benefit students and scientists, Lake Erie, Ohio Sea Grant, Stone Lab and Ohio State for years to come.
