The 'Mershon Center' is an academic
think tank at the

The Mershon Center houses scholars from a variety of fields. There are doctoral candidates, post-docs, visiting fellows, military fellows, and permanent faculty, whether assigned to the Mershon Center directly or one of Ohio State's other departments. There are endowed positions named the
