Samantha Fraley will graduate in May of 2024 from The Ohio State University after just graduating from high school in 2022. This is possible because of the College Credit Plus (CCP) program at Ohio State Mansfield.
Samantha enrolled at Ohio State Mansfield as a full-time CCP student during her junior year of high school. Initially beginning her studies as a psychology major, Samantha’s experiences in Dr. Michelle Kowalksi’s sociology courses inspired her to become a sociology major herself.
During her time as a CCP student, Samantha fell in love with the tightly-knit nature of the Mansfield campus, giving her the opportunity to meet life-long friends and foster great relationships with faculty and staff members. For these reasons, Samantha chose to continue her undergraduate education at Ohio State Mansfield following her graduation from Ontario High School in 2022.
The Mansfield Campus continued to provide Samantha with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, such as participating in the Education Abroad program. As a recipient of the Richland County Alumni Foundation scholarship, Samantha was able to study abroad in Greece with Dr. Steven Joyce.
