What makes OSU special?
The people and the community. I have been at several academic institutions as a student
and a faculty member and have enjoyed them all, but OSU is by far the friendliest,
most supportive, and most genuinely collegial environment I have ever known.The sense
of community here and the shared awareness of the importance of that in society is
truly remarkable.
What is your number one advice to students?
Find what you are truly passionate about, whatever it is that really motivates you
to excel, and make that your primary career focus. The rest will follow.
