Michael V. Drake, who as chancellor of UC Irvine enhanced the school's reputation as a first-rate research institution and boosted enrollment, was named Thursday as the new president of Ohio State University.

Drake's appointment was announced at a meeting of the Board of Trustees in Columbus. He was the consensus candidate, officials said.

"He is exactly the right leader at the right moment in the university's history as we address the challenges of affordability and access, while building on the already strong momentum we have generated at Ohio State in increasing the university's academic excellence," board Chairman Robert H. Schottenstein said.

Drake has served as head of the 28,000-student Irvine campus since 2005. He has a medical degree, a background in administration and a reputation as a prolific fundraiser. He will move to the Ohio campus with 57,000 students, top-flight athletics, and a mission to improve its academic ranking and research focus.

He replaces former Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee, who retired in July after six years at the helm. It was his second stint as Ohio State president. Gee, known for his colorful bow ties, left under a cloud after making remarks considered disparaging to Catholics. He is now interim president of West Virginia University.

In an interview, Drake said that he would always be a fan of Irvine but that the Ohio State post was an opportunity to take on new challenges.

"It's similar work, with a little different focus and scope in a different part of the country," Drake said. "Ohio State is a wonderful example of a flagship university, a land grant university that is very connected with the community, that's done wonderful things for the region and nationally and has wonderful potential to do even more."

Drake, 63, will leave the Irvine campus in June. A search committee is expected to begin looking for a replacement in February, UC system President Janet Napolitano said in a statement. Irvine Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Howard Gillman will serve as interim chancellor until the post is filled.

Napolitano called Drake a "dedicated and passionate" leader.

"Chancellor Drake has made the promulgation of values a hallmark of the UC Irvine experience," Napolitano said. "The seven campus values that he suggested at the time of his appointment respect, intellectual curiosity, integrity, commitment, empathy, appreciation, and fun have become essential parts of fostering the creative process, building stronger bonds between people, and inspiring a shared sense of purpose among faculty, staff, and students."

The John R. Oishei Foundation has made a gift of $5 million to UB to support construction of the new School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences building on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.

The Oishei Foundation gift provides a significant boost to UBs plans to construct a state-of-the art medical school and equip it with the best medical technologies, labs and classrooms to be used in the education and training of physicians.

Construction of the $375-million medical school is scheduled to be completed in 2016, funded by private philanthropy and state support, including funding provided by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo through the NYSUNY 2020 legislation.

A new medical school in downtown Buffalo will provide the region with a true academic health center, allowing UB and its hospital partners to work in close proximity and collaboratively to transform Buffalo into an international destination for the best medical research, education and patient care.

James Wadsworth, chair of the Oishei Foundation board, views the effort as a vehicle for regional development and revitalization.

The new medical school will strengthen the campus, generate regional economic growth and help to renew downtown Buffalos urban vitality, Wadsworth said.

Oishei Foundation President Robert D. Gioia said the foundations support signals its belief in what the new medical school means for the future of the region.

UF alumnus and codeveloper of Proactiv Dr. Kathy Fields will speak to UF students at the 17th annual Medical College Forum.

The Medical College Forum on Feb. 8 will allow people interested in the medical field to be one step closer to their career by offering the opportunity for students to meet with medical school admissions directors and a medical student panel.

The MCF is sponsored by UFs chapter of the American Medical Student Association and will be held at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

Zachary Field, 22-year-old UF biology senior and a Medical College Forum director, said the directors decided to chose Fields as the keynote speaker because she was once in the shoes of many of the aspiring medical students.

Fields was an undergrad at UF and was told by many pre-med advisers that she couldnt get into medical school and to switch her major. But Fields went on to create one of the most successful skincare brands in the world, Field said.

Itd be great for her to talk about the persistence and the drive, Field said. If you want to go into medicine, do it wholeheartedly and dont let anybody stop you.

Other speakers include AMSA national president Nida Degesys, a panel of students in medical schools around the nation and presentations by admissions directors.

Students will get a chance to hear directly from the people who determine whether they get accepted into medical school, Field said.

Zara Zaidi, 20-year-old applied physiology and kinesiology junior, said she hopes to learn about the school shell be applying to.

It gives you a realistic feel of what the application process involves and what each individual school requires, Zaidi said.
