Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Jeannette Mira

Jeannette Mira was born in El Salvador and moved to Cincinnati as a young child. She talks to us about moving to different cities throughout the United States before settling in Ohio. Both of her parents came from working-class backgrounds before becoming professionals in the medical field. She identifies her views on family and education as centered on her family’s upbringing and her Salvadoran heritage. Like many Salvadoran immigrants in the late 70’s and early 80’s, her family, too, was affected by El Salvador’s civil war.
