Jim Tressel to Speak at Leadership Conference

Jim Tressel will be the featured speaker at our Conference's Grand Ceremony on September 16th. Plan now to join us to recognize the best printing and hear from this legendary coach and motivator.

 

Jim Tressel became the ninth president of Youngstown State University (YSU) on July 1, 2014. Since then, the university has made remarkable strides: enrollment and student retention continue to rise; freshmen classes are more academically-accomplished; graduation numbers are at an all-time high; grants, scholarship endowments and donations are soaring; campus housing has increased; and streets on and around campus have undergone significant upgrades.

A native of Northeast Ohio, Tressel earned a bachelor’s degree in Education from Baldwin-Wallace College and a master’s degree in Education from the University of Akron.  He was head football coach at YSU for 15 years, winning four national championships. He also was head football coach at Ohio State for 10 years, winning seven Big Ten titles, earning ten bowl appearances and winning the 2002 National Championship. After leaving Ohio State, Tressel served as executive vice president for Student Success at the University of Akron, and then returned to YSU in 2014 as president.
