Over the course of my first year at Ohio State, I have grown in many different ways. Starting off the year, I dove into various experiences within the Mount Leadership Society Scholars program. I attended service projects, ran meetings with my Leadership Training committee, and helped run a fundraiser for the Mid-Ohio Food Bank (among other things).
As well as that, I began to branch out into other forms of involvement. I joined the Association for the Business of Sports, a club centered around affording aspiring young professionals the opportunity to connect with current sports industry professionals. I became a general body member of the Undergraduate Business Women’s Association, a Fisher organization that brings in companies to present their opportunities for women to our members. As well as that, I actively participated in the Columbus Blue Jackets Club and their outings. The club supports and roots for the Columbus Blue Jackets hockey team.
Later in the year, I started to apply for summer internships. After a few email chains, applications, and my first ever Skype interview, I was fortunate enough to be accepted into a marketing and promotions internship. I’m incredibly excited to see how the internship helps me in furthering my knowledge of the field. I also got involved with some leadership positions. I currently write and edit the blog for the Undergraduate Business Women’s Association. I was recently admitted to be a co-chair for the Member Development committee for my Scholars program. The goal of the committee is to create relationships between Mounties and establish rewarding activities for them to partake in. I was also accepted as the newest Social Media Chair for the Columbus Blue Jackets Club.
All in all, this year has afforded me many opportunities. I’m incredibly thankful for the experiences I have had and the ones that await me in my college career. As this year comes to a close, I’m looking back fondly on my first few months at Ohio State and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
