‘POWER OF ME’ Women’s Summit seeks to inspire and connect ABBY VESOULIS ERIN GOTTSACKER For The Lantern vesoulis.3@osu.edu gottsacker.2@osu.edu The Office of Student Life Multicultural Center at Ohio State is seeking to inspire up to 200 female students to be “PowHerFul” in both their personal and professional lives during this year’s annual Women’s Summit. Themed “Power of Me,” the goal of this year’s free summit is to connect young OSU women with successful female professionals, teach communication and negotiating skills that can be applied in the workplace and provide an opportunity for women to confidently express themselves in a positive environment, said Makia Kambon, the program coordinator for Women Student Initiatives under the Multicultural Center. “This is the start that will hopefully trickle out into the rest of the world,” Kambon said. “What better place to impact and create change than working with this phenomenal group of women and sending you all out into the world with the necessary skills you need to succeed.” The summit is scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Ohio 4-H Center. The summit will be open to all students who identify as women, Kambon said. Hannah Cedargren, a third-year in marketing and information sys-

Ohio State students participate during the 5th annual Ohio State Women’s Summit at the Faculty Club on March 28, 2015.
“I like that the summit focuses on my whole development as a being, instead of just professional development.” Hannah Cedargren Third-year in marketing and information systems

will be in attendance to connect with Buckeye women and share with them their own experiences in the job market and beyond, Kambon said. “You can never have enough networking,” said Shayla Martin, a student co-chair of the Women’s Summit and a fifth-year in hospitality management. “It is really powerful when you have a professional woman who has been where POWHERFUL CONTINUES ON 2
KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu A different kind of football is set to come to Ohio Stadium this summer. An international exhibition match scheduled for July 27 at the ’Shoe between two of Europe’s premier clubs, Spain’s Real Madrid and French club Paris Saint-Germain, was officially announced Tuesday morning. The match, which is a part of the International Champions Cup, a soccer series that has been pairing together the world’s top clubs for summer friendlies since 2013, could bring some of the sport’s biggest names to Columbus, headlined by Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid. “We’re very excited to work with The Ohio State University to bring this match here,” said Kwame Bryan, the vice president of stadium
partnerships for Relevant Sports, the New York-based firm that hosts the ICC, at a press conference Tuesday. “We’ve been working for countless months to bring a game here,” he said. Tickets for the match, which is set to be the first international soccer match ever to be played at Ohio Stadium, go on sale to the general public April 5 through Ticketmaster. Exclusive presale tickets are available beginning 10 a.m. on March 29. Fans can sign up for a chance to obtain presale tickets via the ICC’s website, but Bryan told The Lantern the OSU community — students, staff and faculty — will have access to them. Final ticket details are still being ironed out, Bryan said, though he added they will likely start at $35. “We hope there is a price point SOCCER CONTINUES ON 7
Students work with local nonprofits CARLEE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.442@osu.edu Each year, City Year Columbus hosts the Red Jacket Ball, the organization’s largest fundraising event. This year, Kelsie Fields, a thirdyear in international development and Italian, is helping City Year prepare for the event. Fields and her 11 fellow upperclassmen each are paired with one of six local nonprofit organizations, including City Year, through OSU’s Nonprofit Immersion Program. “We are working with City Year Columbus, I Know I Can, American Lung Association and Neighborhood Services Inc., just to name a few,” said Lauren Tyger, the program’s adviser. “They all serve
different areas and purposes within the Columbus community.” Students are paired up with the nonprofits based on their own preferences, as well as organizational need, Tyger said. “We also take into account what the nonprofit needs,” Tyger said, “For example, if they need someone with marketing skills, and we help pair up students in that way, too.” To be accepted into the program, students apply online in the spring. This year’s deadline was March 4. Once selected, students go through an interview process, during which the program advisers get to know the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. Fields was one of the students selected in the previous spring. She has since completed the first
part of this three-part program: a public affairs course called Intro to Nonprofit Management. She is currently partnering with City Year Columbus and attending biweekly cohort meetings. Fields said that students normally act simply as nonvoting board members, but she desires to work more in-depth with City Year Columbus. “My partner and I try to go a little bit deeper into the organization,” Fields said. “We do a lot of event planning, and we’ve gone to development workshops about grant writing. We have also done graphic-design work for them and attend biweekly meetings.” In the fall, students work to identify a beneficial project for the nonprofit, and in the spring they work on implementing that proj-
ect. Fields said that depending on the size of the nonprofit, students might simply jump on projects already in motion. “One group is making a cookbook for the Broad Street Food Pantry, and we are working on City Year’s annual fundraising gala called the Red Jacket Ball,” Fields said. Fields is working to secure items for the Red Jacket Ball’s silent auction. She said her favorite part about working with City Year Columbus is the people with whom she collaborates. “I get to work with people who are involved and passionate about nonprofit work and who share the same values that I do,” Fields said. Fields also said that because nonNONPROFITS CONTINUES ON 2
