51ĀŅĀ×

A photograph of 51ĀŅĀ×ā€™s historic Cutler Hall, which is located on College Green on the Athens Campus, was recently chosen as the winner of Inside Higher Edā€™s winter campus photo contest. The photo will be featured as part of the ā€™s holiday card and holiday greetings on its social media pages. 

Those following Inside Higher Ed on  and  will see the image featured for the holiday season.

Constructed in 1816 and completed in 1819, Cutler Hall is the oldest building erected for higher education in the Northwest Territory and is named after Manasseh Cutler, one of the founders of 51ĀŅĀ×. Cutler Hall, which was originally named the College Edifice, is designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. 

ā€œWe are pleased that an image of one of OHIOā€™s most iconic buildings blanketed in snow and decorated for the season will be featured as part of Inside Higher Edā€™s holiday greeting this year,ā€ said Chief Marketing Officer Renea Morris. ā€œAs Bobcats, we know how fortunate we are to be surrounded by such history every day on the Athens Campus and itā€™s wonderful to know that others across the world will have the opportunity to share in that appreciation this holiday season.ā€

OHIO observed the 200th anniversary of Cutler Hall in October 2016 with a celebration on College Green that featured speakers who shared perspectives from the Universityā€™s storied past, as well as the creation of a time capsule buried on the grounds for future generations to discover.
