Amber HS

 

This picture was taken on Staff Picture Day at the Kuhn Honors and Scholars (H&S) House. It was posted on honors-scholars.osu.edu as my “official photo”. I am currently a H&S Student Staff and Writer and I love every second of it! I was provided with this amazing opportunity the summer before my freshman and I haven’t looked back since. As a H&S Student Staff, I communicate with prospective students and their families about opportunities within the H&S programs. As a H&S Student Writer, I write weekly articles spotlighting a current H&S student who is doing amazing things on and off campus. Both of these positions fulfill my passion of talking and writing!
