English
Food insecurity is a major issue on college campuses across the country, but thanks to this group of Buckeyes in one Ohio State Marion English course, the decision to raise funds to support their campus-based food pantry and “Friendly Fridges” helps ensure the shelves are stocked for those in need. Putting their professional writing and marketing skills to use, Karlie and a team of sixteen Ohio State Marion students help raise funds for the Marion Campus Food Pantry, sponsored by Kit and Lori Fogle Family Farm. The pantry, which is part of the university student-run Buckeye Food Alliance, helps battle food insecurity issues at Ohio State. Senior Lecturer Amy Tibbals’ English 3304 Business and Professional Writing course used Ohio State’s BuckeyeFunder online fundraising platform as part of this unique spring semester project.
Neuroscience
Louis, an Ohio State Marion neuroscience major, is on the cutting edge of cancer research at Ohio State. His faculty mentor, Associate Professor of Molecular Genetics Dr. Ruben Petreaca, connected Louis to the undergraduate research opportunity with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. “We are looking at a gene called PolE. It is known as a tumor suppression gene,” Louis said. “It has already been linked to a variety of diseases and cancers. When cells mutate, it seems like this gene is the main tumor suppression gene in that area of the body.” “The research potentially allows us to predetermine whether people would be predisposed to get colorectal cancer. If this is shown to have a strong correlation, they can get pre-screened and help prevent formation of cancers before they have spread,” he added. Louis is one of a small handful of students across the university awarded the Pelotonia Undergraduate Scholarship for cancer research. OSUMARION.OSU.EDU | 9
