SHINE Service Opportunity

SHINE is pleased to host middle school students from the Focus Learning Academy of Northern Columbus at OSU on Thursday, January 25. We are seeking panelists from graduate or professional schools to speak about how you chose your career and share advice for students with big dreams. Please contact coordinator Mubarik Mohamed.

We also have a special opportunity for students to be SHINE mentors. As a SHINE mentor, you will have lunch with a small group of students, share your college experience and create a Buckeye-themed encouragement card for your mentees to bring home. Please contact Audrey White for more information.
