My name is Alador Norahun Sisay. My parents came to the U.S in 1995, making me a first generation American. Growing up in an African/ African-American household has made me come to appreciate the value of had work, a good education, and service to the community. I’ve grown up right here in Columbus, so I knew OSU would be a good fit for me. I chose the Biological Scholars program because I believed it would help further my involvement in the community, and help me find the resources I need to succeed in my career at The Ohio State University.
