During his 20-year tenure as dean and director, MacDonald has engaged with the community to raise more than $14 million for Ohio State Newark student scholarships, represented Ohio State Newark in leading new construction and renovation projects totaling more than $100 million, and promoted a holistic approach to student success that focuses on students’ academic and personal needs. He has also been an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion and a true champion for social justice.
