Each of these students fulfilled the high criteria for admittance into the program and we are very excited and fortunate to have them. Our career professionals are also looking forward to meeting with them and sharing their knowledge, experience, and expertise and learning from them about what it is like to be a student now at The Ohio State University during a worldwide pandemic and at a time when more questions and concerns are being raised about “black lives.”  If you see them in class and/or around campus, please congratulate them!
