Looking Forward OSU Graduates Poised to Build on Well-Earned Achievement By Christopher Gonzalez "How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

Though often seen as the end of an arduous journey, the commencement ceremony is actually a celebration of an inception moment in a graduate’s life. Because we often look rearward on life’s journey, it is easy during celebratory moments to dwell upon the choices we have made, the successes we have managed, and the defeats we have avoided. As graduates participate in the commencement ceremony, their family and friends are reminders of everything that has enabled the graduate to be poised in such an exalted position. Friends and family accomplish this with their mere presence alone on graduation day. The graduates take stock, grateful that the confluence of circumstances has worked in their favor after such a gargantuan effort. At this moment, when that special hour on the day of commencement is finally upon them, graduates turn their gaze back to where they have trod without fear or trepidation. It is a moment of utter triumph. It is a moment well earned. Yet once graduates reach this momentary summit in their lives—momentary because we wish for them even greater, loftier perches—they must invariably consign the commencement ceremony to history. There are more interesting challenges in front of them now. Before them lies the world— beautiful and daunting with its expanse of the unknown, its vast fields of potential, its stunning forests of opportunity. There are few moments such as these in a graduate’s life, when the graduate is armed with the confidence of accomplishment, insulated by the rights and privileges afforded by his or her degree. The commencement is the beginning of this exhilarating time for the Graduates of 2011 at The Ohio State University. In honor of this achievement, we congratulate them wholeheartedly. It is also fitting that this commemorative issue marks a commencement in its own right. Long-time followers of ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? will note several changes to what was
once the summer issue. As we transition to a twice-a-year format, the summer issue has been streamlined with a concentrated focus on the graduates themselves. It only seems right that our summer publication be devoted to the spring graduates. The ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? team and I have worked hard to honor the publication as well as the Graduating Class of 2011, and we are pleased with the results. We hope that you are happy with our commemorative issue as well. This, too, is my formal introduction to you, the reader. Michael Alarid, whose stewardship of this esteemed publication I now take, has been invaluable to me during the past six months. He was also kind enough to inform our readership of the upcoming transition of editors in the last issue. Here I would like to take the time to thank Michael for his time, energy, and assistance, all of which has enabled me to take the editorship of ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? with nothing but confidence. Indeed, every past editor of ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? has left his or her stamp upon the magazine. I now face the challenges and responsibilities that they faced. I now take my turn to continue the excellence established by my editorial forebears, as I simultaneously work to take ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? in new and exciting directions. Currently, Emily Strouse, Yolanda Zepeda, and I are working to retool and relaunch our web identity to coincide with the publication of the autumn 2011 issue. We envision Editor Christopher Gonzalez Designer & Photo Editor Emily Strouse Editorial Board Jose Cabral, Chair Frederick Luis Aldama Francesca Amigo Normando Caban Jeff Cohen Ignacio Corona Andrea Doseff Francisco-Xavier Gómez-Bellengé Indra Leyva-Santiago Victor Mora Patricia Palominos-Dunaeff Abril Trigo Fernando Unzueta Yolanda Zepeda, Ex Officio Cover Artist Photo by Emily Strouse (All photos by Emily Strouse unless otherwise noted.)
our internet site to be much more dynamic than it has been, and its primary function will be to supplement our print publication with fresh content not found in the magazine. Though several weeks have passed, the excitement of commencement still lingers. That excitement decorates this commemorative issue, from the reflections of some of our graduates, to the superb photos that capture the intensity and wonderment of June 12, 2011, to the bittersweet images that adorn our front and back cover. From all of us at ¿Qué Pasa, OSU?, we wish the Graduating Class of 2011 our very best. Paz, Christopher Gonzalez Editor

Commencement OSU Graduates and Their Families Celebrate Amazing Milestone June 12, 2011 marked The Ohio State University’s 396th commencement. Ohio Stadium provided the stunning backdrop, while the weather seemed tailor-made for this meaningful day. Leading up to this austere event, Latina/o students gathered on May 27 in the Ohio Union for recognition at the Latino Graduation Ceremony hosted by the Multicultural Center. Both important occasions afforded friends and family the opportunity to congratulate this year’s graduates with expressions of love, affection, and pride. In honor of this achievement, we celebrate the respective degrees earned by all OSU students, and particularly our Latina/o students. Congratulations, and well done!

Featured Profiles Graduates Reflect on Rewards, Accomplishments, and Their Future
Jennifer Caceres It was so rewarding meeting the diverse groups of people that soon became my friends and great professional connections. I think many times students are overwhelmed by the vast nature of this campus. However, taking advantage of all that OSU has to offer has allowed me to explore different career options, gain a plethora of work experience, and meet people who have made a lasting impact on the person I am today. When I first decided to come to OSU, I felt that I would get lost in a sea of students. Truth be told, I never really did feel that way. The people who I met along my college career were kind and welcoming, and interested in learning more about me and my culture. That helped make my time here even more special, being able to help others learn a little bit about mi cultura, even if it was a few salsa steps or how to make my favorite Peruvian dish, tallarines verdes. The people and experiences I have had with the great individuals at OSU have made my time here a most rewarding time in my journey of life. My sophomore year I participated in BluePrint for College, a program through UAFYE where college students mentored elementary school students about the importance of college. Through this program I met individuals working
www.quepasa.osu.edu
at OSU as AmeriCorps members. As someone always interested in community service I looked further into AmeriCorps and found positions open in various non-profit organizations in Columbus. I accepted a position as a Teacher Assistant at the YWCA-Family Center, where I would have the best work experience to date. As a teacher assistant, I was able to help children at the shelter understand that learning can be fun and that hard work translates into good grades which can lead to a great education. Helping children has always been my passion and through this experience, I was able to grow and learn how better to assist children with their education. Even more special than being a teacher by helping a child learn to read or do multiplication, I acted as a mentor and counselor for all the children in my class. Many of them have experienced more traumatic experiences than I or most of my friends. The strength they exhibit in their daily life is remarkable, and being able to be one of the people they feel they can talk to about their troubles is something I do not take lightly. The feeling that you get from bonding with children is unbelievable and something that I probably would not have had the chance to experience had I not been at OSU. For that, I am truly grateful for being a student at this great university.

Cristina Segura Ohio State gave me the opportunity to meet new people and learn from their diverse backgrounds and cultures. Also, it gave me the chance to become independent while at the same time to establish lasting friendships. I plan to continue my education and pursue a career in Occupational Therapy. I hope that one day after I receive my master's degree that I will be able to give back to my hometown through my profession. Ultimately, I want to be able to help low-income families and the Hispanic community as a result of my academic training. My advice to students is to become involved. Why? Because you never know how many more Hispanics you will meet and connect to along the way. You will be surprised to see that there is a significant Hispanic presence at Ohio State. No one knows of one another unless they go out and mingle!
Samuel Saldivar III Beyond the excitement and thrill of the classroom, in addition to the excitement of stimulating academic challenge, my experiences with the community were just as meaningful during my time at OSU. As a bilingual surveyor, I was able to work with the undocumented populations here in Columbus in ways that greatly enhanced their quality of life. I will never forget what this experience taught me in terms of the humanity of these hardworking people. On a completely different yet equally exhilarating level, I will always remember attending the Ohio State-Iowa game that went into overtime and sent the Bucks to the Rose Bowl. Cheering along with 100 thousand plus fellow Buckeye fans was amazing. I still get goose bumps when I think about the game winning field goal. What a night! Without question, Ohio State is a wonderful place that will no doubt change your life. As a university it has everything you need to accomplish your dreams and participate in life-altering experiences. I implore any prospective student to explore all of the amazing opportunities that OSU offers. ÂĄBuena Suerte!
Beatriz Tirado What is the most rewarding aspect of attending OSU? The array of opportunities available to everyone! There are so many possibilities that even though Ohio State is huge, you can still be your own person and create your own path. It's really fulfilling to be able to be a part of something so massive and still maintain your individuality. Honestly, I'm really proud of keeping my scholarship this whole time. I was kind of concerned at times when I felt unmotivated that I would lose steam and slip up to the point where I no longer qualified academically. But that never happened. I truly believe it is an accomplishment not only to be accepted to Ohio State, but to "survive." There's always going to be a reason, an obstacle—just don't let it get the best of you. I had wonderful experiences at OSU, such as studying abroad. Going to London was definitely the most exciting thing I did, and it was just a wonderful experience. The Psychology London program is probably the shortest time abroad, and I still think it was absolutely amazing. I advise going abroad whenever possible—there are tons of grants and aid to help you get there. It is SO worth it! Even though I decided on a major that I love, I still haven't totally figured out what I want to do with it. I have a serious fear that if I go to grad school right away that my brain will melt! I'm currently engaged, and I actually just plan on focusing on the next phase of my life for a bit. I'm not really stressed about my degree or my future. If there's one thing I've learned from college is you can't stress about every single thing or you'll go crazy! I plan on taking everything in stride. I'll deal with things as they come.

James Guzzo The most rewarding thing about attending Ohio State has been the incredible diversity of experiences I have had the opportunity to take part in. In my freshman year alone I was able to attend my first Buckeye football game in the Shoe, jump into a freezing cold Mirror Lake, travel to London, and make some of the best friends I've ever had. I am most proud of my contributions to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion's Undergraduate Recruitment Society (OURS). Additionally, I was fortunate enough to be awarded a scholarship through the ODI which allowed me to attend OSU as well as receive counseling and tutoring that kept me on track to succeed here. When I learned of the OURS organization and their mission to make higher education a possibility for other minority students like myself, I felt strongly that I should participate. Now, three years later, I am extremely proud of each student panel, each campus tour, and each scholarship telethon I participated in as a member of OURS, because I know that I helped other students like myself realize their education potential.
Maria Cosme To have had the opportunity of learning important concepts from leaders and recognized faculty as well as applying those concepts to real situations such as projects or cases of study was a wonderful reward. My learning experience has been remarkable since I have increased my business knowledge with the lectures and improved my communication, team work and personal skills with the practice. The most exciting thing was the opportunity of finding valuable people from all over the world that taught me to broaden my perspective in order to see things from different angles. I was very grateful to learn from diverse cultures and make good friends, even though we didn't share the same background. Also, it was great to let everybody know how special the Latino culture is. For those thinking of attending OSU (or even current students), take advantage of all resources that the university offers daily! From cultural events to lectures from guest speakers, visits to companies, faculty, facilities...and more! There are multiple ways to make the journey more than just an academic experience and that will help grow tremendously your personality and understanding about the world.
Angel Rivas The most rewarding thing about attending Ohio State has been the camaraderie built among my fellow students who have ended up being some of my greatest friends possible. I joined the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi in the Winter of 2008, and from there I had the opportunity to go to concerts, spring break, Ohio State events with many of them. Currently one of my closet friends came from Phi Kappa Psi, and together we have graduated from the Fisher College of Business. We've helped each other with our transitions from college to working professionally in Illinois. One of my most memorable memories from Ohio State is every time we crazy Buckeye students would jump into Mirror Lake prior to the game against our rivals up north (M!ch!gan). My proudest accomplishment will be when I receive my college diploma because I will put a smile on my parents face, a sense of fulfillment and hard work on my part due to the rigorous classes I took as a Logistics Management major. My future consists of me working for Caterpillar Inc. as a Logistics Analyst out in Peoria, Illinois. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to show my Hispanic heritage and was able to helping improve the ratio of Latino students receiving a college diploma, thus showing the rest of the community that it is possible to pursue a higher education regardless of background. I encourage all Latinos to work hard and try new things because they will lead to opportunities you never knew existed. Finally, enjoy your college time as a Buckeye because it goes by fast. But once it's done, you'll become a part of a great alumni network.

Nancy Crespo I attended the Ohio State University as an undergrad with a dual-degree in Political Science and Spanish. It was a great accomplishment for me and my family. I had no intentions of entering into another master’s program outside of OSU. Over the years, OSU has won my heart and loyalty. Having the opportunity to attend the OSU Fisher College of Business Executive MBA Program as the youngest executive has filled me with humbleness, joy, and more ambition. This has been so far the most rewarding result of attending Ohio State. As an undergrad at OSU, I met the most incredible people who have since helped me set my goals high and helped me realize that I can accomplish anything that I set my heart on and work hard to obtain. They have given me support and will remain lifelong friends. As a master’s student at OSU, I met the most inspiring people who are now a part of my network. I have built professional relationships that will also last a lifetime. The most exciting thing I did during my undergrad was a study abroad to Mexico for four months. I visited Puebla, Guanajuato, Acapulco, Leon, and Mexico City. It was one of my favorite experiences to date. During my master’s program we took a cohort trip to China. We climbed the Great Wall in Beijing, toured the City of God Temple in Shanghai, and visited Victoria’s Peak in Hong Kong among many other things. That was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I currently am Deputy Director of Government Relations for State Auto Insurance Companies. I have had the privilege of working for an amazing company in thirty-four states and traveling across the United States. I want to continue to work in Government Relations and work my way up at my company. My dream would be for State Auto to expand internationally so that I can continue my work on an international basis. OSU brings a challenging and fun academic environment. Be ready to work hard to succeed and be open minded about meeting new people that can eventually help you with your academics, goals, and future career.
Brailin Cepeda Some of the best experiences at The Ohio State University were being able to be part of the Fisher School of Business and gain an education from some of the world’s most renowned professors. The professors’ ability to share their experiences and compare it to today’s fast growing economy provided me with a clear overview of the after-college professional life. A great example was my International Finance professor Harold Green. Prof. Green introduced me to his years of working with international organizations on Wall Street. I was able to take his advice and join one of the world’s biggest and best financial organizations, JP Morgan Chase & Co., as a Business Analyst. My advice to any Latina/o coming or continuing at OSU is to join an organization outside of the classrooms. Dr. Gee always mentions how college is not just about the classroom education but everything that surrounds you. Whether it’s an extracurricular activity at the RPAC or joining a chess club/school organization, it will teach you some of the principles of life and provide you with opportunities of leadership roles. In fact, most organizations are actively looking for students that have been exposed to leadership roles; OSU provides students with countless opportunities to go beyond just leadership roles. ANY students, especially Latinos involved in Fisher, should get involve in many activities and/or groups like the Hispanic Business Student Association. This will open your doors to networking and future careers. As an HBSA member, I was able to learn more about organizations structures, careers and interact with other students. Some of the organizations that presented an overview of the company to HBSA were JP Morgan Chase & Co., Procter & Gamble, Sherwin Williams, and Eaton among many more. My experiences at Ohio State have exposed me to hundreds of companies, a rich growing culture of friends, and one of the world’s largest alumni associations. Apart from joining one of the best universities in the world, attending a football game has been one of the most exciting things at Ohio State. Coming from a small town in the Dominican Republic, I have never seen so much excitement and people at once. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life. These experiences will carry-on with me wherever I go! O-H-I-O!

Maria Eaton For me the most rewarding thing about attending Ohio State is that I have been able to make new friends, learn new information, and not only pursue my dream of becoming a teacher, but to realize that dream. The accomplishment that I am most proud while here at Ohio State is being on the dean's list for academic achievement 13 out of the 15 quarters which I have attended the school. The entire time I have been a full-time student at Ohio State, I have also been working a full-time job and had a family. Further, I have been admitted to the Master of Education program at Ohio State, which I will be starting in September of 2011. After graduating from OSU with a Master of Education, I am hoping to find a teaching job in which I can help make a difference in the student’s educational lives.
Julia Barham The most rewarding aspect about attending Ohio State is that there are no limits placed on your education here. If a student has a vision and shows initiative, the university takes strides to make their idea possible. I never encountered anyone at OSU who wasn't willing to help me personalize and improve my academic experience. I believe that is a testament to Ohio State's character. Additionally, studying abroad was the most exciting part of my time at OSU. Within four years I visited Bulgaria, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and England. These travels helped me develop a mature worldview and understanding of life in other countries, and the memories will last a lifetime. I encourage students at OSU to take full advantage of the opportunities and resources right here at their fingertips. Whether it's joining an intramural team, helping out with the university-sponsored community service days, or attending discussions with former world leaders, Ohio State has the ability to provide unique and empowering experiences. It's an awesome and rewarding decision to make your experience outside the classroom just as productive as your time inside the classroom.
Eddie Toncel Thank you to ¿Qué Pasa, OSU? for giving us this short window to speak about our experiences and dreams. I truly believe education is the best reward you can ever get. This journey was not easy. I live alone in Ohio while my family lives in Colombia. As a result, it was hard to get used to having adult responsibilities while getting good grades, especially without my family close. At the beginning, I recognized it was a challenge. I lost a few battles, but effort and determination is the key for success. Everything is possible if you work for your goals every day. Though it is hard not having my family with me for commencement, I know they will be so happy knowing I have achieved my goal. Thanks, Mom and Dad! My immediate plan is moving to Washington, DC to pursue my Master’s degree in Finance at George Washington University. At same time, I have been offered two different jobs as an economist in DC. For us Latinos, it is not always easy to reach and complete a college education. So, if you got the opportunity to go to college at Ohio State then: 1) Be sure your major will make you happy and also has future job opportunities. 2) Be responsible and focused. Go to school, study hard, get a job early for experience, have fun but always keep your horizon in front of you, and read every day what your goal is. 3) Be persistent. Life is not easy and is plagued with inconveniences. Remember, your job is overcoming what’s bad and reinforcing what's good. 4) Be yourself. Don't follow others because it is fun or because you want to get socially accepted. I am proud of Ohio State. GO BUCKS!

Tayron Suarez Rossner Being able to attend and be part of this great university is a reward in itself, but the education and experiences associated with attending Ohio State are the most rewarding of all. They have shaped my individuality and provided me with insight for my pursuit of a better future. I am most proud of earning my degree and joining Lambda Theta Phi, Latin Fraternity Inc. The things I considered most exciting were joining these organizations as well as the rituals that only students of The Ohio State University can ever experience, such as game days, plunging into Mirror Lake, and the Beat Michigan Week. From here I plan on attending graduate school to earn a degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. Also, I plan on completing my second degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering. These accomplishments will guide my interests to become a business executive and consultant. One day I will start up my own company! Above all, students should embrace the opportunities available at OSU while continuing to make your own opportunities along the way. Develop your particular character, share in culture and pursue your interests. Persevere and capitalize on your fortune!

The most important thing for me was that I was able to surround myself with other women who believe in spreading diversity and multicultural awareness just as I do. The world is not segregated, black vs. white vs. Hispanic. As to my future, I plan on becoming an advisor, whether it be a high school guidance counselor, or college advisor. I feel that students need assurances that they can go to someone when they need help or advice. Many students don't have the resources they need to know what to do in certain situations. Students need to feel like they aren't one in a sea of millions.
The program of Entomology is ranked among the best in the nation, and being part of the OSU family has opened many doors in my professional career. Also, the opportunity to teach has been extremely rewarding. I did not know that mentoring and teaching could be more rewarding that learning. In truth, you learn more while teaching. I developed my own project and was able to get two sources of funding for it in the first two years. I plan to enroll as a post-doc on the area of plant-insect interactions as well as being a successful teacher. OSU is a great community. Prospective students won't be disappointed.
The most rewarding thing about OSU is working with passionate, intelligent, and spirited students, faculty, and staff! I’m very proud of serving in Residence Life for six years and completing my doctorate! I got to work with students every single day; no two days were ever alike and that was always exciting! My goal is to become a university professor where I can teach and research more in higher education. I look forward to teaching student development theory to aspiring student affairs professionals. I enjoy helping students grow, develop, and succeed. My advice to Latina/o students at OSU is to stay positive, connected, and always keep the end in sight!
Montserrat Acosta-Morel The most rewarding thing about attending Ohio State is the large college life, including collegiate sports and other activities. Coming from the Dominican Republic, an island nation of almost 10 million people, to receive a good and consistent education, one has to attend private universities, which are small. For comparison purposes, some universities are the size of a large OSU building, such as Arps Hall. In addition, college sports, though present, are hardly noticed by the general university population. In OSU, however, the OSU vs. Michigan game is a big deal that calls for everyone's attention, no matter who wins. It's an opportunity to understand the people of Columbus, college sports, and Ohio State pride. It's also a chance to relax and do something fun. The accomplishment I'm most proud of is obtaining my Ph.D. This is an extremely difficult task, demanding the utmost perseverance and mind-body strength. Currently, I am working for an NGO (The Nature Conservancy) in my native country, thus helping in its knowledge of climate change, the effect we humans have on the environment, and aiding in its development. My advice for other Latin@s is to be open to new experience, cultures and people. The amount of things you can learn at OSU is huge if you're up to being open to others. You should also have a strong support system, since it is very hard to be away from one's country for so long.
