Artifacts

For my artifact, I chose a brown beaded bracelet I wear every day.  Although it only cost $5, it holds a lot of meaning to me. It reminds me of my friends because I got it the first time we went to Short North.  Since then, we try to go most weekends and find a new restaurant to eat at.  This bracelet is a reminder of the great memories we have made, and will keep making, when we go to Short North and other cool places on campus.

Aaron Goetz

Hello, my name is Aaron Goetz and I am a freshman at The Ohio State University.  I grew up in Mason, Ohio and attended Mason High School while running cross country and track all throughout my high school career.  Currently, I am pursuing a major in Finance.  With passions in math and retail, I am minoring in Business Analytics and Fashion and Retail Studies.  On campus, I am involved in Business Scholars, Undergraduate Finance Association, Fisher Cares, and OSU Running Club and I have a job on campus at Chipotle.  Before graduating, I would like to have at least a 3.75 GPA, rush a fraternity, and get an internship useful for my major.
