Aaron Bell
With hopes of one day managing a golf course and obtaining a business degree, there were no questions that the professional golf management major was perfect for Aaron Bell.
Aaron's internship experiences are definitely preparing him for the real world.
He currently interns as the guest services supervisor at Tartan Fields Golf Club in Dublin Ohio. Aaron works closely with the head pro and director of golf to organize outings, junior events and tournaments. In 2006, he interned at the No. 1 ranked Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey.
With Aaron's leadership, the PGM Club successfully created a junior program to teach youth to golf. Before he graduates, Aaron hopes the club will receive national recognized for its efforts.
Aaron represents the average college student. Between working, being involved in PGM Club, class work, and internships he finds time to play the Scarlet and Gray Golf Course, cheer on the Buckeyes in Ohio Stadium, and still meet all of his deadlines. Aaron loves college and feels there is no where else he belongs than at Ohio State.
Kenny Davis
Kenny Davis has broadened his college experience in many ways.
Kenny, a student in agribusiness and applied economics, traveled to east Africa over winter quarter to study abroad. He met people from the Makerere University and members of the Ugandan Parliament. Kenny also talked with local farmers and business owners to learn how they sustain their livelihoods. During this study abroad trip he went chimpanzee trekking, visited the source of the Nile River and saw every animal imaginable at the Queen Elizabeth National Park.
After graduation, Kenny plans to begin a masters program to study economic, rural and urban development. He ultimately hopes to find a career that helps bridge the gap between innovation and underdevelopment as well as between rural and urban communities.
Kenny currently works in the college's dean's office where he is gaining valuable real-world experience. He has also taken on the challenging yet rewarding opportunity of being a resident advisor - living with 450 freshmen.
Kurt Ellis
Do you want a lot of career options when you graduate? Well, so does Kurt Ellis. This is exactly why he transferred from a small community college to Ohio State.
Kurt knew he wanted to major in food science and technology. He became even more excited about becoming a Buckeye when he found out how well his credits transferred.
The only problem Kurt had with his transition was adjusting to the large lecture/small recitation class structure. But by the end of his first quarter, after getting help from his teaching assistant and studying with peers, he finished his organic chemistry class just fine.
Kurt has become an active part of the Ohio State community. He is involved with Real Life, a ministry of Campus Crusades for Christ, where he has made some of his closest friends. Over spring break, Kurt went on a Katrina Relief trip to Mississippi with this organization.
Most recently, Kurt became an ambassador for the college. This role allows him to share his college experiences with potential students. In the future, Kurt would like to join the Food Product Development Team.
Even with all of his involvement, Kurt stays focused on school work by studying in the library and taking classes that interest him.
Danielle Robinson
Study abroad participant. Student organization president. Undergraduate researcher. These are a few words that describe Danielle Robinson's involvement as a student in our college.
While studying abroad in Egypt, Danielle saw first-hand the importance of what she's studying and researching. In the Egyptian culture, people eat, sleep, and live with the animals they own and consume. With growing food safety concerns, Danielle thinks she might be the one who will help underdeveloped societies establish a new system to minimize the transmission of infections diseases between them and the animals they raise.
Danielle is an active member of Multicultural Students in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS). In her current role with this diverse club, she hopes to build the chapter and encourage her peers to become great leaders in collegiate and surrounding communities.
Participating in the Food Animal Health Research Program has given Danielle the opportunity to interact with students from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and North America. The research she conducted in this program helped her gain skills she will utilize in the real world; learning about lab techniques, handling practices and using tools to identify pathogens.
The hardest part of college for Danielle was balancing out-of-class involvement with class work. Danielle makes a daily "To-Do List" to prioritize tasks for the day and starts each day with the goal of checking everything off of her list.
Kara Riggs
Kara Riggs came to Ohio State because she wanted unlimited learning opportunities. She also knew she'd have the opportunity to continue research studies she started as a high school student.
Kara's research focuses on engineering soybean roots that are disease-resistant. This is something that has interested Kara since the eighth grade. And, after contacting a faculty member in the Department of Plant Pathology, she learned she could continue learning about what interested her most right here in our college.
After she graduates, Kara hopes to attend graduate school in plant pathology and biotechnology. From there, she would like to work at a research center or a university laboratory.
Since arriving on campus, Kara has gotten involved in student clubs and organizations including Campus Crusade for Christ, Plant Health Resource Management (PHARM) Club, and Alpha Zeta Partners.
