G.O.A.L.S.

Global Awareness: Students cultivate and develop their appreciation for diversity and each individual’s unique differences. For example, consider course work, study abroad, involvement in cultural organizations or activities, etc .

In order to pursue Global Awareness I would like to study abroad so I can learn more about the different culturals  that are all around the world. I also would like to help out people and different animal species that are in need. Studying abroad will widen my knowledge and experience in global awareness.

Original Inquiry: Honors & Scholars students understand the research process by engaging in experiences ranging from in-class scholarly endeavors to creative inquiry projects to independent experiences with top researchers across campus and in the global community. For example, consider research, creative productions or performances, advanced course work, etc.

During my time here at The Ohio State University I would like to participate in undergraduate research, so I can learn more about a subject that I am interested in-like veterinary medicine. Working in a lab will help me figure out if I want to continue to do research in the future during my career and will expand my knowledge of how to conduct a lab and use data to support my research.

Academic Enrichment: Honors & Scholars students pursue academic excellence through rigorous curricular experiences beyond the university norm both in and out of the classroom.

As a Honors & Scholars student, I am prepared to take courses that will challenge me intellectually. These rigorous course shall make me a better learner and help me continue down the path of success.

Leadership Development: Honors & Scholars students develop leadership skills that can be demonstrated in the classroom, in the community, in their co-curricular activities, and in their future roles in society.

I would like to achieve a leadership position in a club that revolves around my interests as well as become a leader in the community by working my way up the ladder.

Service Engagement: Honors & Scholars students commit to service to the community.

Giving back is one of the best feelings; knowing that you are helping someone in need. I plan to volunteer my time in local animal shelters and serving the hungry. I did this in high school and I would like to continue these volunteering services while I am here in Columbus.
