Alumni Band Day

Woooo for alumni band day! I had the pleasure of running into our very own Ben Fortman jazzing it up in the alumni band section. I felt especially cool when he told me I could go down to the bottom of the alumni group to try to find my friend who conveniently played in the band with Ben in college. I won't tell the stories, don't worry Ben. It was a lovely game and the quadruple script Ohio was awesome!

Study Abroad Expo

Last Thursday (September 6th) the Buckeye Reading Room in Thompson Library was filled with all sorts of study abroad information. For the third year, I ventured into the expo with curiosity and came out blown away by most of the opportunities that we have right here at OSU. The two experiences that stuck out to me were the "Semester at Sea" and the AIFS opportunity to study in the capital of Western Australia, Perth.  I couldn't possibly list all of the specifics of each program, but if anyone is interested in studying abroad, I highly recommend going to the office of international affairs and requesting information on a program that excites you!  AIFS offers many more opportunities than just Australia, for other countries include China, New Zealand, Ireland, Chile, Costa Rica, and many more!

Mentor/Mentee Scavenger Hunt

I had a lot of fun with the mentor scavenger hunt last year, so I was really excited to see that it was on the calendar again this year! Only one of my mentees was able to attend, but Gabi, Devon, and I had a lot of fun. We had some difficulties collecting the puzzle pieces, as some of the pieces appeared to be missing, so we ended up with a very mixed-up puzzle in the end! My favorite part was taking pictures for bonus points. We threw away someone's lunch trash at the Union, took O-H-I-O pictures with random strangers, did a human pyramid outside of Thompson, and took a picture with a picture of Gorden Gee! It was fun way to spend time getting to know Gabi, and getting to know Devon better too!
