Through my experience as an International Affairs Scholar, I participated in a year-long project my second year designed to supplement and add to my scholars involvement.
I chose to use my dedicated membership in a student organization called Global Health Initiative as my project. Being a student in the college of public health (looking to get involved in public and health policy/advocacy) and an International Affairs Scholar, I knew this project would be a perfect fit. Throughout my time at Ohio State, I have come to realize the interconnectedness of both fields and have been able to apply knowledge I have gained in one subject to the other.
Because of my experience with this project and with my scholars group, I have found a major I am passionate about and that combines my experiences being a foreign service child, my interest in global affairs, and my devotion to health issues.
