Honoring and remembering the events of May 4, 1970, and educating others about the tragic day at 91²Ö¿â remain an ongoing commitment by the university. On that day, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on 91²Ö¿â students during an anti-war protest on campus, killing four students and wounding nine others. This year’s May 4 Commemoration, to be held May 1-4, 2026, will include special remembrances of John Cleary, one of the nine wounded students, who died Oct. 25, 2025, and Jerry M. Lewis, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Sociology, who served as a faculty marshal during the campus shootings and worked tirelessly to ensure that the legacy of May 4 would endure. Lewis died Feb. 11, 2026.
