Organization and History of Campus
Partners Get Involved in Our Committees An Introduction to Campus Partners A civic
association for the neighborhoods around The Ohio State University's That bumper sticker reflected the pride that many residents have for these neighborhoods, known collectively as the University District. Yet these neighborhoods - like many urban communities across the nation - have faced challenges in the appearance and maintenance of its residential and commercial structures and, most importantly, in the safety and quality of life of the students and other residents who live and work in this area. The university, in cooperation with the city, created Campus Partners for Community Urban Redevelopment in 1995 to spearhead the revitalization of the University District. Campus Partners was incorporated as a non-profit organization to work with the city, community agencies, neighborhood leaders, and the university itself. Campus Partners has initiated comprehensive, community-based planning for the University District, is facilitating cooperative efforts to improve municipal services in the area, and is undertaking specific projects to enhance the neighborhood vitality.

president of Campus Partners since 1996, has accepted an offer to become vice
president for development with a private firm based in San Diego, Calif. The firm specializes in real estate and
development services for educational institutions. Mr. Foegler will leave Campus Partners in
early August. Jeff Kaplan,
senior vice president at The Ohio State University, announced Mr. Foegler’s
departure in a memorandum distributed to the university community on July
7. Doug Aschenbach, executive vice
president of Campus Partners, will serve as interim president. To read Mr. Kaplan’s memorandum, click here. When Mr. Foegler
informed Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee and Mr. Kaplan of his intention
to accept the position with the San Diego firm, both encouraged him to
stay. Mr. Foegler informed them,
however, that his responsibilities and compensation from the university were
not an issue, but that this was an opportunity that simply offered a new set
of challenges in a variety of new environments that would test his skills. Mr. Foegler led Campus Partners
through a series of community-based planning processes and has directed the
implementation of major revitalization projects, including the construction
of South Campus Gateway. For a summary
