2020 in review: ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ in the media

FEATURED | December 21, 2020
STORY BY: EDITORIAL STAFF

In a year as full of news as 2020, it’s no surprise the expertise of ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ faculty was called upon often by the media.

To audiences around the world, university experts helped make sense of the year’s unfolding realities, its latest discoveries—and offered valuable perspective with thoughtful, informed and fact-based explanation and analysis.

News occurred on campus, too. From co-hosting the first U.S. presidential debate to contributing new knowledge in the battle against COVID-19, the university’s faculty, researchers, administration and students played a frequent and essential part of the wider public’s awareness and understanding—from right here in University Circle.

Look back at some of the highlights of ÐÓ°ÉÊÓÆµ in the media, from this most unprecedented (and newsworthy) of years now nearly in our rearview:
