G.O.A.L.S.

Global Awareness: My goal is to meet new people at the Ohio State University which will allow me to be introduced to different cultures and ultimately broaden my horizons in regards to the world we live in.

Original Inquiry: At Ohio State I hope to learn new things about the media and communication industry, and how it has shaped the world around us. In addition, I hope to apply these things to not only my classes, but also my daily life.

Academic Enrichment: In terms of academic enrichment, I want to stay on top of my school work for the time being. In the future I hope to use the time management skills I have developed to stay on top of everything, so I can begin furthering my knowledge in a research oriented field.

Leadership Development: For my first year at Ohio State I hope to start out by just learning the ropes of how things work so I will be prepared about opportunities in the future. However, in the years to come I hope to be a leader on campus whether that be running a club or becoming an RA.

Service Engagement: Right now, I plan to start small but advocating my opinion in discussions that involve women’s rights, immigration, and mental health. However, eventually I hope to advocate on a bigger level for these three issues.

About Me

My name is Mary Kidwell and my intended major is journalism with a pre-law track. Some of my academic interests include research, writing, and investigative work. Some of my goals in college are studying abroad, meeting new people, and making the best out of my four years at Ohio State by being more open and taking advantage of new opportunities. Some things that make me unique are that I have a brother with cerebral palsy, I love being active whether that be working out or meeting new people, and my senior year of high school I qualified for the state meet in cross country, swimming, and track.
