About Me

Hello there! My name is Malcolm Guy IV. I am a Political Science major who is currently participating in Navy ROTC. I am very excited to be part of The Ohio State University Class of 2019. Here are a few bits of information about me.

I was very involved with Public Forum debate in high school. It was pretty much my life in high school. I loved it.

I enjoy volunteering. In high school, I was a member of National Honor Society. I accumulated many hours of volunteer service throughout high school.

I am very interested in politics and government. You will find me watching the news over almost anything else. The one exception is Cleveland sports. If the Cavaliers, Browns, or Indians are playing, you’ll find me holed up in my room with my foam finger rooting my favorite teams to victory.

 

My goal is to earn a commission as an officer in the U.S. Navy, then, after doing my time, going into politics and making America a better nation.
