Action is the Byword for OSU-M Student

OSU Mansfield student Donald M. Bryant has been selected to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative University being held in Austin, Texas, in February. Over a thousand students have been selected from applications received from around the world. He is one of only two people selected from Ohio.

President Clinton established the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in 2005 to turn ideas into action. CGI represents a growing community

of young leaders who do not just discuss the world’s challenges, but take real action toward solving them. From presidents to academics, from the boardroom to the classroom, CGI members from all walks of life are attempting to affect positive change.

Prior to attending the February meeting, each student must develop and submit a “Commitment to Action.” The plan must address a pressing challenge on the campus or in the wider global community.

Bryant has applied for a CGI grant to establish an after-school program for 11-14 year olds that would be both academic and fun. In conjunction with the program, he hopes to form a mentoring group of business and community leaders to work with the young participants.

Now a senior in his academic program, Bryant, 23, is majoring in diplomacy with a minor in security intelligence.

Cincinnati Area Student Enjoys OSU Mansfield

Katrice N. Broach wanted to attend The Ohio State University, but also hoped to insure that she could help her family meet the tuition costs.

“I knew that OSU’s regional campuses had lower tuition with the same quality faculty and courses, so I looked into some of them and decided on OSU Mansfield,” said Broach. “I’ve enjoyed the whole experience.”

A graduate of Immanuel Christian School in Cincinnati, and the oldest of seven children,
she is the first in her family to attend college. Now in her senior year majoring in English, she hopes for a future in law school or speech therapy.

Best Bash Ever Preps Faithful for OSU vs Michigan


The 28th Annual Buckeye Bash drew 1,200
excited OSU fans for what some have called “the best bash ever.” Special guest Archie Griffin, college football’s only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, gave a rousing talk to the assembled scarlet-and-gray-clad crowd.

All proceeds from the annual event are contributed to the OSU Richland County Alumni Club endowment fund managed by The Ohio State University.

Earnings from the endowment are used to
provide scholarships each year to area students attending The Ohio State University.
