 Special Study Abroad and Research
Scholarships Issue - Coming Friday
|
 Research and study abroad can be an important part of your experience while at OSU. Admittedly, each can come with some expense. Look for a special edition of this newsletter highlighting college scholarships that can help with these costs.
Coming to your inbox on Friday! |
ASC Program Highlight
|
The Department of Sociology is home to the Sociology and Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies majors as well as four minors: Sociology, Criminology and Criminal Justice Studies, Inequality and Society, and Health and Society.
Sociologists investigate the structure of groups, organizations, and societies in order to understand the characteristics, causes, and consequences of human behavior and social relationships. The study of criminology provides majors with techniques for examining and responding to important questions about the causes and consequences of crime.
Majors are prepared for careers in a variety of fields, including health and social services, federal, state, or local government, law enforcement, and criminal justice administration. Graduates frequently pursue law school or graduate study in sociology or criminology. |
Student Organization Highlight
|
 Formed in 1919, the Leighton Undergraduate Philosophy Club provides students with a forum to engage with challenging philosophical subjects. Weekly meetings generally consist of talks by professors and graduate students on varied topics including ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. The club originated the annual Bingham Award which recognizes the best undergraduate essay written in the previous year. The club holds an annual conference that attracts students from OSU as well as the broader Midwest region. Interested students should contact the club president, Max Griswold, or visit the club's website. |
From ASC Advising - New Hours

Career Corner
|
Seeking a summer internship or employment after graduation? Now is the time to set a plan for distributing your resume. Include several strategies such as campus career fairs, FutureLink, and discussing your job/internship goals with your advisor and others in your network. Because our career fairs have different focus areas, be certain to review the full listing of events at ASC Career Fairs. Track additional recruitment events at ASC Career Services Calendar. If an event overlaps with one of your classes, be certain to talk with your instructor well in advance to see if you'll be permitted to miss that class.
Not all organizations attend campus career fairs; therefore, it is important to learn how organizations in your target industry/field recruit for their internship and employment opportunities. For instance, do they typically solicit candidate referrals directly from faculty, collect resumes via their own web sites, or utilize other methods? If you need assistance researching organizations associated with your career goals, consider meeting with a Career Services advisor. |
