In February of 2016, I joined as an undergraduate research assistant in the Injury Biomechanics Research Center. At this time, I have not had the opportunity to help on any project. In general however, they utilize cadavers in tests to investigate how the body reacts in traumatic and injury causing situations. These tests provide a more realistic way of testing these situations compared to crash test dummies or artificial models.
On January 30, I attended the 2016 Leadership Summit at the Blackwell Inn. It involved getting to meet other employees or students who wanted to be or were leaders within their company and on campus. There were speeches by the Chief World Class Operations officer of YUM Brands Rob Savage and the Ohio State football team’s leadership coach Tim Knight and they talked about what makes good leaders in how they lead by example and need to earn the repect and trust from those who are following. I attended two interview related breakout sessions as well which provided feedback and tips on how to interview and present yourself to the best of your ability. I think this was overall a great experience and hope to apply what I’ve learned in the future.
