G.O.A.L.S.

Global Awareness: Through my involvement in PASA, an organization for Pakistani American students, and my volunteering experiences in the city of Columbus, I have grown a deeper understanding of diversity and fostering it.

Original Inquiry: With my theatre minor, the courses I have taken and the productions I have worked on have nurtured the inquisitive side of my mind.

Academic Enrichment: Honors & Scholars students pursue academic excellence through rigorous curricular experiences beyond the university norm both in and out of the classroom. The courses I’ve taken in my biology major have contributed to this academic rigor greatly.

Leadership Development: With my positions in PASA, USG, and College Mentors, I’ve been able to step up and take on leadership roles.

Service Engagement: I’ve committed over 80 hours of service in just my sophomore year alone.
