Opening September 9, 2021
The Newark Earthworks Center exists today as a center on the Newark campus of The Ohio State University. Opened in 2006, it is the only academic research center on an Ohio State University regional campus.
The Center’s primary focus is to promote research, support faculty, contribute to student experiences, support appreciation of the ancestral sites and peoples and contribute to a campus and university environment of diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Center’s value and relevancy is centered on respect, recognition, preservation, celebration and promotion of Indigenous peoples and their achievements, past, present and future.
The current exhibit "Welcome to the Newark Earthworks Center" highlights the activities and accomplishments of the center together with an imagining of the creation of a distinct physical space for the Center on the Newark Campus.
