The Big Ten met with University of Michigan president Santa J. Ono on Friday and there are conflicting reports about how that went, even our source has been confused by the disparate reporting. So we share what we know and what we think it probably means. We start to delve into On3's bombshell about Ohio State being connected to the private investigative firm -- which is a conclusion you should have drawn if you've been paying attention to the show for the past two weeks. In the middle of that, Connor Stalions released a statement, so we dive into that, as well.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it's easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Denise talks to Santa Ono, PhD, who was recently inaugurated as the 15th President of the University of Michigan, the third of his proudest accomplishments. The first two? Being married for 33 years to his wife Wendy and raising two daughters.  Dr. Ono cherishes his family, but also knows how difficult it is growing up in a family that is less than nurturing. In fact, it can be life-threatening. As a teen, he spiraled into depression, living with parents who had unimaginably high standards and being compared to siblings who more easily met their expectations. At age 14, dealing with an overwhelming sense of inadequacy, he tried to take his own life. Fortunately, he got the help he needed to heal and has gone on to enjoy an exciting and fulfilling life.  As a result of his childhood experience, Dr. Ono is a true champion of survivors. His advice to those who are suffering is to talk to someone you can trust, even if that person is outside your family. He wants everyone to know, “In the outside world, beyond the narrow boundaries of your nuclear family, there are other people who will appreciate you.”   Meeting his wife was a turning point for him as well as starting to go to church. With a trusted partner and a faith community he found the much-needed support and guidance he deserved. He describes himself as the black sheep of his family, and it took him years to understand, “It doesn't matter what others think about you…You are special. Everyone is special. Everyone has different attributes and strengths and gifts.”  These days he meets a lot of perspective students, and he wants them to know that getting into the college of your choice is a lot harder than it was when he was applying! Remember there are a lot of schools, and none are bad. Pick the one that feels right. And if you don't get in, don't beat yourself up.  Life is a marathon, not a sprint, and you can't know who's going to win the race by judging the first few miles. Denise couldn't agree more; getting an education is what's important. As an adult, many people don't even ask where you went to college!  Stay tuned to find out Dr. Ono's two favorite Detroit moments, two favorite U-M moments and the two things he, as a man of many accomplishments, is surprisingly NOT good at.  ***  Santa J. Ono, PhD is the 15th President of the University of Michigan and professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences in the Medical School. A recognized leader in higher education, Dr. Ono's pioneering work in experimental medicine focuses on the immune system and eye disease. Previously, he served as president and vice chancellor at the University of British Columbia. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, the National Academy of Inventors, USA and the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars. In 2022, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Dr. Ono has served on numerous educational, advisory, editorial, and non-profit boards and won many distinguished awards in his field. He holds honorary doctorates from Chiba University and the Vancouver School of Theology. He earned his BA from the University of Chicago and PhD in experimental medicine from McGill University. He and his wife, immunologist and lawyer Wendy Yip, have two daughters.  Denise Ilitch, an owner of Ilitch Family Companies and President of Ilitch Enterprises, has been a part of Detroit's business and philanthropic community for over 40 years.  As a mother, lawyer, entrepreneur, devoted community servant and tireless advocate for women and children, she learned early, from her father, that everyone is worthy of contributing to the world.  Her passion for affordable, accessible, quality education stems from her own experience as a first-generation student, earning a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, where she currently serves on the Board of Regents, and a law degree from the University of Detroit Law School.  FOLLOW DENISE @thedeniseilitchshow  TO LEARN MORE about all our inspiring podcasts visit https://www.lifestough.com/.  

The University of Michigan has officially hired its 15th president. Dr. Santa J. Ono was formally announced as the new president of U-M, which has a lot of people very excited. He's extremely qualified, over-the-top intelligent and, perhaps most important to Wolverines fans, a big supporter of athletics. After dealing with Mark Schlissel for about eight years, Michigan fans seem excited to see what President Ono brings to the table. On the recruiting trail, Michigan has gotten hot lately. Over the last two weeks, U-M has reeled in four, 4-star prospects, with the most recent being Enow Etta, a highly-ranked edge rusher out of Texas. We discuss U-M's recent run on the trail, what it means moving forward and what it all means as a part of the big picture. Throw in lots of fan questions and discussion and you have the most recent episode of The Wolverine Digest Podcast.

Santa J. Ono, PhD, a biomedical researcher and president of the University of British Columbia, assesses COVID-19’s impact on higher education —and society as a whole —in the latest edition of the higher education podcast Innovators. Just as COVID-19 has taken a disproportionate toll on the health and wellbeing of some population groups (e.g., senior citizens, people of color, and individuals with underlying medical conditions), the pandemic will hit some academic institutions — or categories of academic institutions — much harder than others, Ono said. A child of Japanese parents, Ono grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, attended the University of Chicago for undergraduate studies, then returned to Canada to earn a doctorate in experimental medicine from Montreal’s McGill University. He did post-graduate work at Harvard University before joining the medical faculties of — in chronological order — Johns Hopkins University, University College London, and Emory University in Atlanta. Innovators is a podcast production of Harris Search Associates. The show is produced by Grant Burkhardt.  *The views and opinions shared by the guests on Innovators do not necessarily reflect the views of the interviewee's institution or organization.*

A son of academics and a student of both science and culture, Dr. Santa Ono has always fought the good fight. After years helping build the University of Cincinnati into a winning national brand, he's now battling COVID-19 north of the border at the University of British Columbia as he works to ready his campus for reopening in the Fall.Instagram: @besomebodyblogFacebook: @besomebodyincTwitter: @besomebodyblogFor our full audio and video experience visit Besomebody.com

Canada is widely regarded as a leader in diversity and inclusion, leading the way for LGBTQ2 equality.

Wildfire is an essential process in forest ecosystems, but can be incredibly destructive in the wildland-urban interface. Wildfire is driven by climate, weather and fuels that vary among ecosystems and through time. The combination of land-use change, fire exclusion and global warming have made many forests highly susceptible to intense fires that are difficult to control and contain. Revolutionizing forest and fire management will improve ecosystem resilience to climate change, but we will not stop future fires from burning. Successful adaptation must also include individuals and communities learning how to coexist with wildfire. What does this mean for the upcoming fire season in British Columbia? Are there specific fire risks we need to pay attention to in the Capital Regional District? Hear a presentation from the UBC Faculty of Forestry's Professor Lori Daniels, MSc'94, followed by a Q&A that was moderated by UBC's President & Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono. Presented in partnership with the UBC Faculty of Forestry.

In this era of #metoo, #timesup, #letstalk and #blacklivesmatter, story-telling—individually and collectively—matters more than ever. In this talk, famed novelist Isabel Allende unpacks the power of story to, as she says, “make the world good—not just better.” An unrepentant feminist who exhorts audiences to speak with passion and purpose about what must not be forgotten, Allende explores themes of social justice, female empowerment, and personal and political freedom with hope and good humour. UBC Connects is presented by University of British Columbia President Santa J. Ono, in partnership with alumni UBC.

Did you know that nearly one in five Canadians will experience a mental health or substance use problem each year? Young people age 15 to 24 years are more likely to experience a mental health and/or substance use challenge than any other age group. Yet, many find mental health uncomfortable to discuss, leading them to delay, or avoid, seeking help. Open conversations about mental health and stories of recovery can work to remove the stigma, facilitate engagement with services, and improve the outcomes of individuals seeking help. Are there specific groups that have unique mental health needs? How are their needs being met in Calgary? What external factors are impacting the mental health needs in the city? How can society provide ongoing support so that the mental health issues experienced in the community don't become crises? Hear from UBC President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono, as well as UBC alumni and friends as they participate in an important conversation about mental health in Calgary. Moderator - Professor Santa J. Ono – President and Vice-Chancellor, University of British Columbia Panelist - Karen Gosbee – Mental Health Advocate and Community Leader Panelist - Laureen MacNeil – Executive Director, Canadian Mental Health Association Calgary Region (CMHA Calgary) Panelist - John Ogrodniczuk – Professor and Director, UBC Psychotherapy Program, Faculty of Medicine, UBC; Founder, HeadsUpGuys Panelist - Edward Taylor – Associate Dean, Faculty of Health and Social Development, University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus; Co-Director of the UBC Interprofessional Mental Health Clinic

UBC Connects is presented by University of British Columbia President Santa J. Ono, in partnership with alumni UBC. The series (www.ubc.ca/ubcconnects/) is made possible with the generous support of the R & J Stern Family Foundation. In his characteristic fun, friendly and highly accessible manner, theoretical physicist and bestselling author Michio Kaku presents a succinct history of physics and makes a compelling case for why this particular branch of science is the key to pretty much everything. He argues that physicists may soon shrink the science of the Big Bang into an equation as small as Einstein's famous e=mc², and that advances in string theory may allow us to escape the heat death of the universe, explore the multiverse, and unlock the secrets of existence. Whether you slept through high school science or are about to defend your thesis in quantum physics, your curiosity and imagination is sure to be ignited by this spellbinding session with one of the world's most famous scientists. Recorded September 26, 2018 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, on UBC's Vancouver campus.

The Pacific Northwest enjoys an enviable reputation for its attractive job market, scenic beauty, and the quality of life available to its residents. At the same time, it is clear that many aspects of life in this region, from health to urban infrastructure, business and beyond, could be greatly improved by data-guided optimizations. The Cascadia region has long been a global leader in technology development, and is now taking the lead in its understanding of how the use of "big data" can help develop innovations for social good. These innovations are transforming our society in a multitude of ways, but, as we have witnessed acutely in recent months, there are trade-offs to this increased data collection, analysis, and use. How can we gain from the social and technological innovations made possible by this data, while at the same time creating systems to improve accountability, transparency and privacy protections? Hear from UBC's President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono, UBC's Vice-President, Research & Innovation, Gail Murphy, and a panel of UBC and industry experts in Seattle as they discuss data for good. Presented in partnership with UBC Faculty of Applied Science and UBC Sauder School of Business. This program took place September 10, 2018, in Seattle, WA.

UBC Connects is presented by University of British Columbia President Santa J. Ono, in partnership with alumni UBC. The series (www.ubc.ca/ubcconnects/) is made possible with the generous support of the R & J Stern Family Foundation. During her work for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Waneek Horn-Miller came to understand that if we are to embrace the true spirit of Indigenous reconciliation, we need to make it a way of life-a cornerstone of how we proceed as a multicultural society, and not a mere destination to be gained and forgotten. In this important talk, the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) mother, activist, Olympian, and entrepreneur makes the case for fostering a collective culture of listening and dialogue; for extending empathy to those with different outlooks and not shying away from debate; and for applying solutions-based thinking rooted in shared aspirations. She unpacks the hard but necessary work ahead of us to address societal wrongs, live in harmony, and heal those who need it most-no matter who they are or where they come from.

Hear from UBC President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Santa J. Ono as well as local and UBC experts in Calgary as they discuss the unique challenges and opportunities Canada faces in nurturing its innovation ecosystem and learn about some initiatives that are putting Canada on track to become an innovation powerhouse.

Professor Santa Ono recently took office as the 15th President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of British Columbia. In this, the first in a series of In Conversation events, presented by alumni UBC, Professor Ono shares his early priorities and interests as well as gathers input from alumni and friends in the Okanagan community on how we can continue to strengthen our university on both campuses. Hear from this accomplished researcher and educator, who is a firm believer that dialogue is crucial for sharing ideas and bringing about transformation. Recorded October 27, 2016, in Kelowna, BC.

Join Dr. Blye Frank, Dean of UBC's Faculty of Education for his inaugural FRANKLY SPEAKING event, featuring Professor Santa J. Ono, President & Vice-Chancellor, UBC; Dr. Stan Kutcher, Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, and Director, World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Mental Health Policy and Training; and Jessica La Rochelle, BA'06, Assistant Director, NITEP and Leader, NITEP Mental Health and Wellness Program. In the spirit of ideas worth advancing, the theme will be Mental Health Literacy. One in five Canadians will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime and mental health issues affect up to half the total student population at many universities. Mental health literacy encompasses the knowledge, beliefs and abilities that enable the recognition, management or prevention of mental health problems with a range of benefits including early recognition and intervention, and reduction of stigma associated with mental illness.

Spring 2015 Business leaders in the Spring of 2015 (at the most senior levels) are still not using social media tools themselves (even senior PR Pros). Yet there is plenty of data suggesting that when the C-Suite uses social tools, it helps them and their teams strengthen consumer trust in their company. The sad fact is that often C-Suite executives are unwilling to learn the needed skills or are simply just risk adverse. Game of RISK: In academic circles these same two issues are often seen as a barrier. There are some who only see social media (especially Twitter) as a tool for youthful and trivial interactions instead of for its untapped potential: a gate-free medium that can facilitate cross generational and cross cultural communications. Santa J. Ono, PhD. Dr. Ono's usage of Twitter has been recognized  as a leading example that academic leadership can harness social media to accomplish personal, professional and institutional objectives. This leadership has been recognized within the UC Community, locally in Ohio, and by researcher Dan Ziaontz.  It takes a bit of fearlessness to present yourself to your stakeholders without a safety net; it is a common perception of social media that a tiny misstep can lead to embarrassment. Dr. Ono's acclaim stems in part from his ability to market himself adeptly in the social media realm. Ono on Social: President Ono recommends that individuals, departments, and companies need to find their "authentic voice." My impression of Dr. Ono is that he considers authenticity of voice to be a critical requirement for using social tools like Twitter. While Dr. Ono makes use of a variety of social networks, his reputation for using Twitter is significant. Students at UC have analyzed his tweets, and he has taken their advice to heart, proving that his use and command of Twitter are both dynamic and evolving. He informed me during the interview that a student in Canada is analyzing his Tweets as part of his PhD. research Biography: "Santa J. Ono is the 28th President of the University of Cincinnati, one of the nation’s top 30 public research universities. An avid user of social media, he is also an accomplished researcher in eye disease.  A new book called #FollowtheLeader (Lessons in Social Media Success from #HigherEd CEOs) says that with his use of Twitter, Dr.Ono “epitomizes the institutional champion” – 'highlighting his university’s achievements, both academic and non-academic, interacting with key stakeholders, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, and partners; and also serving as ‘cheerleader-in-chief’ whenever possible.'
