For my HSS Capstone project, I chose to discuss my involvement with the Program for Advancing Scholarship and Service (PASS). PASS is an organization through OSU’s College of Arts and Sciences for students who share a passion for promoting diversity in academic, career, and community settings. PASS focuses on providing resources to 1st-year students related to academic success, career development, community building, community service, and leadership development. This organization also facilitates critical discussions relevant to college students including mental health, addiction, racism, economic disparities, career planning, and more. The target population for this project were 1st-year and prospective OSU students. 

I was an elected Peer Leader for PASS this year, and some of my responsibilities included:

• Mentor 1st-year OSU students and provide them with necessary resources
• Serve as an Ambassador for the College of Arts & Sciences and host recruitment and informational events
• Speak on panels for prospective college students
• Organize and lead health, wellness, and leadership workshops designed for academic and personal success
• Volunteer throughout the Columbus community
