Friday April 24th was the last IA dinner, and overall IA event for the semester. I have not gone to many social events over the past year simply because my schedule has been packed. However, it was a nice change of pace to sit down and talk to the IA community. I have to say that I did not talk much, but there were some interesting conversations that took place.
Steven talked about the new IA members, and how eager they are to get started at osu in the IA program. It was refreshing to hear how excited the upcoming freshman class is. As part of IA, I believe that it was fitting for me to get an insight into the new members. It was also nice to hear how ohio state is doing. Not being on campus has definitely changed my daily schedule. Therefore, being able to see faces that reminded me of the school was welcomed.
Being aware of what is happening at the ohio state and in IA specifically is significant to my participation in the community. The meeting got me excited for the upcoming school year, and all of the events that are going to be happening.
