I am an active member of the Buckeyes Against Alzheimer’s club. Going to meetings and participating in planning events has really helped me develop my leadership skills.
G.O.A.L.S.
The University Honors & Scholars Center at The Ohio State University serves high-ability, motivated undergraduate students. While embracing diversity in both ideas and people, the Center fosters purposeful learning communities that enhance students’ academic and social experiences. The Center facilitates impactful, rigorous, and unique opportunities that further student success and involvement in our G.O.A.L.S.: Global Awareness, Original Inquiry, Academic Enrichment, Leadership Development, and Service Engagement.
G.O.A.L.S. – Original Inquiry
I attended an informational lecture about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia by Dr. Douglas Scharre on October 29, 2016, hosted by the Buckeyes Against Alzheimer’s club. This meeting was extremely enlightening and I was honored to be in the presence of such an important figure in Alzheimer’s disease research. Because of this lecture I will make sure my parents take his test that he developed to test for Alzheimer’s, the SAGE test.
G.O.A.L.S. – Global Awareness
I attended the Taste of OSU event on February 19, 2016. There were so many different cultures represented, and I enjoyed seeing the dances.
G.O.A.L.S. – Health and Wellness
I attended a dance class at the RPAC on February 12, 2016. It’s important for my mental health to take study breaks, and this was a fun way to do that. It was a great stress reliever that was different than just my regular jog around campus that I would do before I was diagnosed with tendinitis.
