Student News:

Guille Bervejillo (PhD candidate), Ashley Toenjes (PhD candidate) and Deondre Smiles (PhD student) ran a frank, fun, and productive panel on ‘Life as a Graduate Student’ in GEOG 4101 (Undergraduate Research and Professionalization). They tackled a number of interesting topics related to their career trajectories, their research interests, the transition out of an undergraduate degree into the ‘real world’, balancing work and life, and the general culture of graduate school. Instructor Mat Coleman reports that it was the best class of the semester.

Brianna Cunningham (GIS major) was featured recently in the Office of International Affairs' Buckeyes Abroad. She participated in the study abroad class GEOG 3753.2 (Geography of the European Union) last year (taught by OSU Mansfield campus faculty Stavros Constantinou), and vlogged about her experiences.
