Graduation wasn’t so much an ending for Stamps Eminence Scholar, Paige Consolo, as it was a change of scenery.
After studying food science and technology with a minor in biology, Consolo moved to Wisconsin this summer to begin Nestlé’s Manufacturing Leadership Development Program. The year-long rotational program is giving her a firsthand look at food manufacturing, from operations and continuous improvement to leadership, as she prepares for a future supervisory role.
Receiving a prestigious graduate fellowship is a distinction few students achieve. For Ohio State alumnus Anitvir Singh Taunque, being selected as a Samvid Scholar represents an opportunity to join a national community of future leaders dedicated to addressing some of society’s most pressing challenges.
Honors alumnus Abu Rogers has been selected as a 2023 Knight-Hennessy Scholar. He graduated from the Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry in 2020.
One day, Eyako Heh sees himself as a research professor heavily involved in community outreach and activism, bridging divides and helping to fix some of most pressing systemic issues we face as a society.
It’s a vision inspired by his experiences and relationships at Ohio State.
Laila Ujayli has been busy the past few years. She graduated summa cum laude from The Ohio State University in 2018, with majors in English and international relations along with minors in screenwriting and business; earned two master’s degrees from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar; and started her first year at Harvard Law School. Now, she’ll be adding the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans to her list of accolades and achievements.
It is often said that graduate school is the most interesting level of education, and this probably becomes even truer when earning a Ph.D. involves exploring a vast forest and getting to follow around animals whose behavior almost mirrors that of humans. Drew Enigk, a 2012 graduate of Ohio State and the University Honors Program, had the opportunity to spend two months over the summer observing chimpanzees in Uganda's Kibale National Park as he works on earning his Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico.
What would you do if there were more than twenty-four hours in a day and you had a robot to clean your house? Ohio State grad student Sarah Yoho would spend more time working in the lab…and for a good reason. While she is working on earning her Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing Science, she is helping research ways to improve hearing aid technology, as well as working on other projects. Being part of such impactful research, it is understandable why she would cherish time spent in the lab.
Barbara Camens, like many OSU Honors alumni, exemplifies success in both her professional and personal life. She calls her interview a "blast from the past," adding that she just visited campus for the first time in thirty years. It is understandable that she has not had much spare time to return to Columbus; she went straight to the University of Pennsylvania's law school after graduating from Ohio State, and has since been a labor law attorney in Washington, D.C., where she has lived for the past thirty-two years. Growing up in Youngstown, her father had b
Arthur Fisk is one of many interesting and successful people who got their start at The Ohio State University. Having worked in a factory right out of high school, Fisk initially attended the Mansfield branch of Ohio State before transferring to the main campus in the late ‘70s. He recalls that Ohio State was an open admissions school back then, and has grown much more competitive over the years. Fisk, a psychology major, reminisces, “I had a great experience even though at that time I think there were probably 70,000 students on main campus.”
