Invested in Student Success

Transcript

Okay, next, let’s hear from Sydney. Sydney’s plan after graduation is to continue onto law school. At Ohio, Sydney found a multi-layer support system designed to help every student graduate on time, on plan, and prepared for whatever comes next, over to you.

– Thanks Alex. Ever since high school, I knew I had wanted to go to law school. I chose Ohio University because of its amazing programs and options for supporting students, both in and out of the classroom. I’m heavily involved in our Center for Law, Justice and Culture, as well as several student organizations here. The center provides amazing support for students who are interested in both legal and human rights fields. In a study abroad program, I went on as a freshman. I was fully immersed in the social and political discourse of Northern Ireland, and it strengthened my ability to conduct research on another culture. In addition to the CLJC, academic advising is readily available to ensure that you take advantage of opportunities, but can still graduate on time. From my intro to sociology professor, all the way up to our university’s president, faculty have open office hours to provide support. My student organizations here are my lifeline. I’m a sociology and economics major who loves singing and dogs and OU has organizations that allow me to be involved in all of those things, while still building professional skills. The Picardy Thirds or P3 for short, they’re my family. And I absolutely love getting to sing with this acapella group. ♪ Hey, yeah ♪ ♪ Hey, yeah ♪ Shameless plug, we do hold auditions every year. 4 Paws For Ability is a great way to have a dog while in college because the program pays for food, supplies, vet visits, and grooming. All you have to do is provide the foster with the love and support needed to become a service dog. While school is still my plan after graduation, I love that I can have both experiences that aid in my academic success and experiences that allow me to continue to do the things that I love. This school has given me so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. All right, what’s next, Alex?

– Thank you%, Sydney. It’s refreshing to hear that Ohio offers the kind of holistic support and well-rounded student experience that help make college and your future career more successful. That was great, take care.
