UN Millennium Goals
For the UN Millennium project the goal my group dealt with was primary education, with a specific focus on the achievement of the goal in the Middle East. Within my group, I researched the causes of the the problem in the Middle East which had led to the failure of the goal being met – the primary causes including war in the region, old religious values and sexism towards women. The information I gained from working on this project has greatly changed my perspective on education, especially since it is frequently taken for granted in the United States. I have also attained a new attitude towards these problems in the Middle East, notably due to the feminist issues within the region that have slowed the achievement of the education goal. I am glad to have had the opportunity to study the primary education goal and to inform others on its importance.
About Me
Hi everyone! My name is Allison Lunka and I am from a small town outside of Cleveland, Ohio. I am especially excited to be here at OSU to experience its enormity and diversity, which differ greatly from my hometown. Therefore, I look forward to participating in the International Affairs program, as I hope it will broaden my understanding of different cultures give me a glimpse of our diverse world. I am a hard worker, a driven learner and a quick thinker. Although I am currently undecided, I am positive that my first year experience will help submerse me in a field of study that I am passionate about.

Year in Review
My freshman year has shaped me and my professional career by bringing me many new experiences and allowing me to meet many diverse people. I have met many of my start of the year expectations including finding a major that fits my skill set and interests me. I am most excited to continue with my minor in Studio Art as the art classes I have taken have been my favorite from each semester. I have experienced a few setbacks during my freshman year; however, these setbacks have helped me choose a major and better understand what kind of learner I am. I am very excited to continue to pursue a major in Strategic Communication with a minor in Studio Art during my sophomore year and experience the amazing opportunities that this university has to offer.
