Joan and Wallace Phillips Academic Services Center to Be Dedicated January 22

Ohio University is proud to announce that Saturday, January 22, is the official dedication of the Joan and Wallace Phillips Academic Services Center. The Phillips Center, named by the Ohio University Board of Trustees in honor of Joan Phillips and her late husband, will provide state-of-the-art academic, computer, career-planning and counseling center for Ohio University's more than 500 student-athletes. Located on the first floor of the Convocation Center, The Phillips Center includes over 3,000 square feet of functional space, more than tripling the capacity of the previous academic services center.

Joan "Jody" Galbreath Phillips' generous philanthropic naming gift made this academic services center a reality for Ohio student-athletes. Jody, BSED '46, and her late husband Wallace have been long-time, loyal supporters of Ohio Athletics.

Phillips believes stronger academic support for student-athletes will benefit current students and attract quality recruits. Phillips is also pleased with the university's efforts to help students balance academics with athletics. The Phillips Center is scheduled to be available to Ohio student-athletes on Monday, January 24.

Anyone who wishes to tour the facility may do so at the conclusion of Saturday's basketball game (Ohio vs. Western Michigan). Please see the athletics department personnel at the end of the visitors bench.
