Morakinyo Kuti
Director
Central State University
Director of Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (OSPR) at CSU. Central State is Ohio’s only publicly funded historically black university and was designated as a land-grant institution in 2014. The University’s current enrollment is 1751 students, of whom 80% come from low-income families, and a significant portion are first-generation students. As a predominantly undergraduate institution, Central State has demonstrated a record of excellence in research. Among historically black universities without a graduate program, CSU ranked third in research activities behind only Morehouse College and Dillard University. CSU achieved this record before its designation as a land-grant institution.I have a strong background facilitating successful outcomes for underrepresented students, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). One of my student-focused activities is my role as the project director of the “Diversifying Ohio in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics” (DO-STEM). DO-STEM is a $2.6 million, nine-year initiative, funded by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. DO-STEM provides scholarships to recruit and retain STEM students at CSU and ensure their graduation and entrance into Ohio’s workforce or graduate education. Currently, 71% of DO-STEM participants have received their degree or are still enrolled compared to 33% of CSU’s general student population.
