“OSU is Making Life Awesome” contest
 

 

Rainn Wilson, best known for his character "Dwight Schrute" on the television series "The Office," will be discussing his new social project SoulPancake on the OSU campus on April 16. SoulPancake is focused on making the world a little more awesome by fostering thoughts and discussions about art, culture, spirituality, and feeling good. 

So, we have two questions for you. Do you want to meet Rainn Wilson? If so, how are you going to ‘make life awesome’?
