Carol Wygant is very excited to have joined the buckeye community this semester. She hails from a suburb of Toledo, and living on Campus is her first experience with living outside of Northwest Ohio. She graduated with honors from Sylvania Northview High School in 2016, where she performed in the Wildcat Marching Band, Cross Country, and Track and Field. Her artwork has been on display at several local galleries and events. Carol is currently majoring in Psychology, and wishes to pursue a minor in Art once she has adjusted to the college lifestyle. Upon graduating, Carol wishes to attend graduate school in order to become a licensed art therapist. Helping people has always been a strong desire in Carol’s life, and she wishes to use her talents in order to better the well-being of those around her.
Carol applied for the ENR scholars program initially because she loves and seeks adventure. She has always been the child in her family to beg for things like going zip lining, sky diving, etc. She enjoys nearly everything outdoors including fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, and even drawing or painting outside. This past summer Carol worked on a high ropes course and zip line at the Toledo Zoo. She decided that the ENR program would help her to further her outdoor adventure knowledge, and help her to acquire some important skills. Although Carol is not majoring in anything environmental (yet), she has a strong passion for the world that surrounds us. Sometimes she looks around at things and wonders if those who come after her will have the same privileges that she takes for granted everyday. She wishes to learn the small things she can do everyday in order to make this world a better place. Carol has a thirst for learning, and is eager to see what is in store for her this coming year at the Ohio State University.
