[edit] History
The school officially was formed through a June 30, 2006 merger of the John Glenn Institute and School of Public Policy and Management.[1] The John Glenn Institute was founded in 1998 as a public service, research, and professional development institute. The School of Public Policy and Management was a part of the College of Commerce, then College of Social and Behavioral Sciences after its 1969 founding.[2] The Glenn School offers a Master of Public Administration (MPA), PhDs, and joint degrees. Charles R. Wise was appointed the first director on January 19, 2007, to take effect on July 1, 2007, replacing interim director Anand Desai, a professor.[3] Joining the school in 2006 is former Astronaut and researcher Kathryn Sullivan as director for the Battelle Center for Mathematics and Science Education Policy.
[edit] Page Hall
The Glenn School is located in Page Hall, a building initially opened in 1903 and occupied by the law school, the business school, offices of the Ohio Department of Health, the old College of Commerce and Journalism (the school of public administration that is a component of the John Glenn School was part of the College of Commerce), and the College of Music.
The John Glenn Institute moved into Page Hall after its 2003—-2005 renovation.[4] The $16 million renovation gutted the interior, leaving only the facade. A crowd of nearly 500 watched the rededication on 2005-03-03, with speeches delivered by former Senator John Glenn, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer, Ohio State President Karen A. Holbrook and Tami Longaberger, chair of the Ohio State Board of Trustees. .[5]
