The Youngstown State University Trustees unanimously voted Friday on a resolution to rename One University Plaza to One Tressel Way.

This resolution, and change of the University’s address, intends to honor both President Emeritus Jim Tressel and former First Lady Ellen Tressel for all their accomplishments and extreme dedication while at YSU.

“This street renaming reminds us of the impact the Tressels had on our community and the university,” said Mike Peterson, board chair. “Both Jim and Ellen were influential ambassadors representing YSU and the region successfully on the state, national and world stages”,

Jim Tressel was president of Youngstown State University until February 2023 and remains involved with YSU serving as the Special Assistant to the BOT for Philanthropy and Engagement.
