While at OSU, Haning served as treasurer for OSU Crew and on the leadership team

Stewardship Committee and the Institute for Creative and Innovation Steering Committee.
Haning traveled to South Asia with the Baptist Collegiate Ministry in summer 2012
to serve students and children for seven weeks. She has also volunteered her time
at OSU Foundation events through the OSU Student Foundation. Haning was named the
Women for OSU Student Philanthropist of the Year and a Wentz Research Scholar. She
also received the Southwest Chemical Association Scholarship.
“My time at OSU has been packed with incredible people and exciting experiences,
for which I am incredibly grateful," Haning says. "But nothing can compare to the
surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord. He makes my OSU story worth
telling.”
Haning plans to live in East Asia this summer before pursuing a Ph.D. in chemical
engineering in the fall.

Wilson has served as president and vice president of Engineers Without Border and

I hope to be a part of it by continuing support for scholarships started by my family
and as a mentor for engineering students."
