Hello, my name is John Holzaepfel and I am a first-year student at The Ohio State University majoring in Public Affairs. I am originally from Marblehead, Ohio, and attended Danbury High School. I was involved in many extracurricular activities in high school, including Cross Country, Track, Band, Choir, and Academic Challenge. I held leadership roles throughout high school as well, including President of Key Club and Secretary of National Honor Society. It was my involvement in Key Club, NHS, and on the Portage Resale Center Youth Council that led me to want to continue my passion for service in college and beyond.

At Ohio State, I am involved with the Mount Leadership Society Scholars program and am on the Mount Service Committee. I am also a member of the University Band and plan to get involved with more service and music organizations on campus. I hope to take advantage of all the opportunities that Ohio State offers while I am here, and cannot wait to see what the next four years will bring! After graduation, I aspire to pursue a career in nonprofit management to be able to help others in my community.
