Service engagement- I plan to volunteer a lot of my time to Matthew 25: ministries, a humanitarian aid and disaster relief center in my hometown that helps reach 20 million people worldwide by supplying goods and services they need.
Original Inquiry- I have been taking an Intro to Micro Research class my first semester where we read papers of many faculty at OSU and the course is also instructed by researchers here. At the end, I plan on reaching out to a few of these faculty members to see if I can work in their lab next year.
