Service Engagement

Honors & Scholars students commit to service to the community. Students learn the importance of reaching out and aiding those in need around them. With these experiences, students will gain valuable skills able to be applied to their majors and the workplace.

In Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars, this looks like:

  • Develop leadership through commitment to serving their peers and the Columbus community

DSWS engage in at least 10 hours of community service each semester. As a part of this, I was able to volunteer at Ohio State student activities such as our “WIPEOUT” event and handed out water to runners for the Columbus Marathon. In addition, each year we form a team for the annual Buckeyethon event, where we raise money for children with pediatric cancer.

About Me

Hello! My name is Madison Reidl, and I am a Biomedical Engineering major at The Ohio State University. I come from Canton, Ohio, and I have dreamt of attending this university since I was a child. In high school, I was a member of student council, on leadership for NHS, and was the recipient of multiple scholarships, including awards from the Rumberger Scholarship Foundation and the Stark Community Foundation. I also played volleyball, was a part of our school’s theater department, and was a member of the Math Team.

At the university, I am the Outreach Coordinator for the Biomedical Engineering Society, I am a Choose Ohio First Scholar, and I graduated from the Dunn Sport and Wellness Scholars as the volunteer coordinator within the University’s Honors and Scholars Center. I received the J. Michael Dunn Distinguished Sport and Wellness Scholar Award for my efforts contributed to the Wellness Scholars. Both the Choose Ohio First and Dunn Sport and Wellness programs have provided me with immense professional development skills, while ensuring I balance my academics with community service, overall wellness, and real-world experiences.

This ePortfolio includes a diverse set of experiences that have provided me with leadership and professional skills. Through my involvement, I hope to capture the work that I have done to become a well-rounded individual so that I may obtain further engineering employment and development opportunities. My determination to succeed and dedication to my work make me an asset to any employer, and a natural leader in any group I am a part of.
