SENIORS Lauren Loftus
Riedel-Cutler Scholar
What was one exciting/funny memory you will always remember from being a part of CSP?: I have so many funny and exciting memories from being a part of the Cutler Scholar Program that it is difficult to choose just one! My enrichment experiences were full of many exciting and funny experiences, from going paragliding, to having to navigate the Dutch train system, to helping at-risk kids in my hometown build a slip’n’slide with shampoo and dish soap! @LaurenLoftus I know that I am who I am today because of my experiences with the Cutler Scholars program, and I know that these experiences will continue to shape who I become in the future.

How has the CSP prepared you to meet your academic, personal, and professional goals?: The CSP has prepared me for my goals by always being there and pushing me toward success. Dr. Hill has always been there to answer questions and give advice and the whole staff in general take interest in me as a person and are involved hands on with how I am doing. Also, the summer experiences forced me to grow up and really question my perspective on basically everything. @BrandonShiflett My experience with the CSP has been a roller coaster of emotions. I know we are leaving soon and I wish I could be at OU as a Cutler forever. The CSP is and always will be family.

What will you miss most about OHIO and the CSP Program?: I will definitely miss the people here. I mean we all live here and have access to our friends and colleagues all the time. Usually it’s just an email or a phone call away, and we can set up lunch with someone we feel we lost contact with (because it’s been more than a week since we’ve seen them). Being around people who have had the same experiences with… they just understand the gratitude we feel toward the program and our benefactors without us having to verbalize it. Having that connection with people is priceless and I believe it will be rarely found after OU. @LynzeeTucker CSP is nothing short of amazing! I’ve met lifelong friends, and consider the CSP an extension of my family. We’ve shared some of the greatest experiences of my life together and I will never forget it!
